| Abstract | A variety of methods were utilized to study the mechanism of reaction of 6-iodo-5,5-dimethyl-1-hexene and its bromo, chloro, and tosylate derivatives with LDA and several other lithium dialkylamides. In the reaction of 6-iodo-5,5-dimethyl-1-hexene with LDA in THF, radical, carbanion, and carbene pathways occurred simultaneously. However, when the corresponding bromide was allowed to react with LDA, the radical pathway was minor and when the corresponding chloride or tosylate was allowed to react with LDA, no evidence for radical products was observed. This is the first time that competing radical, carbanion, and carbene pathways have been detected in the reaction of a primary alkyl halide with any nucleophile. |
