Computational and Spectroscopic Determination of Lithiated Benzylic Nitriles in THF/HMPA Solution

The synthetic utility of nitrile-stabilized carbanions as reactive intermediates for selective carbon-carbon bond formation has prompted numerous studies toward characterization of the solution structure of these nucleophiles. In hopes of eventually gaining a better understanding of the structural...
