Non-Deprotonating Methodologies for Organolithium Reagents Starting from Non-Halogenated Materials. Part 2: Transmetallation and Addition to Multiple Bonds

The recent publications on the topic of the preparation of organolithium reagents by non-deprotonating methodologies and starting from non-halogenated substrates have been covered in the present revision. In this second part, transmetallation processes, mainly tin-lithium exchange, and addition to multiple bonds have been considered. Moreover, other procedures, such as carbon-carbon bond scission and the Shapiro reaction, have been included.
