But actually the structure of these compounds are much more complicated e.g- n-alkyl lithium are found to be hexameric in solvent.The simplest Li-R bond represents lithium atom as electron deficient and explains its tendency for polymerization like other electron deficient molecules. Infrared studies show that the strong tendency of methyl lithium to associate which persists in vapour phase also. Raman bands in diethyl ether solutions of methyl lithium indicates cluster mode of tetrameric units. Fig.1 Structure of (LiC2H5)4 with tetrahedral geometry NMR studies also indicate that methyl lithium retains the tetrameric solid state structure in solution. The structures of (Li-R)4 units i.e tetrameric depicted by X- 2 ray techniques . These comprises of four lithium atoms at the corners of a tetrahedron and the alkyl groups are located at each face of the tetrahedron. 1.1 Preparations of organolithium compounds The following methods can be adopted to prepare various organolithium compounds: 1.1.1 Oxidative- Addition reaction It is an important method for the preparation of simplest organolithium reagents. The most important alkyl lithium reagent is butyl lithium. This method involves the oxidation of a metal M by the addition of a group R-X. Et2O 1.1.2R -X + 2Li R-Li + LiX Metal-metal exchange -20 °C (Transmetallation) This route depends on the difference in the free energies of the formation of the two species Li-R and Mg-R2. 2Li + Mg-R2 2Li-R + Mg 1.1.3 Carbanion-halide exchange This reaction involve the interchange of the carbanion (alkyl/ aryl) and halide groups present on two different metals. MXn + M'Rm MX R + MR X n-a a m-a a (X = halogen, R = alkyl / aryl , M' = Li) ether Li -R + Mg-X2 Mg(R )X + LiX 1.1.4 Metal hydrogen exchange reactions (Metallation) Due to strong polarisation (Mδ+- C δ-) of the alkali metal carbon bond, the carbon atom bound to an alkali metal should be a strong base which is capable of abstracting protons from more acidic hydrocarbons. MR' + RH MR + R'H ( R = alkyl / aryl , M = Li) 3 LiC2H5 + Ph3CH LiCPh3 + C2H6 1.1.5 Metal hydride addition to alkenes This route involves insertion of an alkene in a metal hydrogen bond which lead the formation of metal –carbon bond. M-H + C=C M-C-C-H Pressure LiAlH4 + 4CH =CH Li[Al(CH CH ) 2 2 100°C 2 3 4 1.1.6 Halogen –metal exchange or inversion or Lithiation The halogen metal exchange is useful for converting aryl and alkenyl halides to the corresponding lithium compounds by the use of of butyl lithium.Driving force of this reaction is the greater stability of sp2 carbanion than the sp3 carbanion. ϴ + BuLi + BuBr ϴLi OCH3 Br OCH3 More stable carbanion due to OCH3 1.1.7 By reduction of sulphides Alkyllithium can be prepared by the reduction of sulphides. This method is generally useful for the preparation of α- lithioether and silanes. For this reaction LDMAN (Dilithium dimethyl aminonaphthalene) is used as a reducing agent S-C H Li 6 5 LDMAN O O 1.2 Properties of organolithium compounds Organolithium compounds possess ionic structure Li+R- due to small size of Li cation it possess greater polarizing power and provide special properties to its compounds.Organolithium derivatives are appreciably covalent and soluble in hydrocarbon or non polar solvents. 4 Organolithium derivatives are extremely reactive (super Grignard reagent). Organolithium compounds are oxygen and moisture sensitive and show Lewis acidic character. Butyllithium deprotonate protons which are more acidic than butane. (Lithiation). Position of lithiation is determined by the relative acidity of the available hydrogen and directing effect of substitutent groups. Benzyl and allylic hydrogens are relatively more reactive towards lithiation due to resonance stabilization of resulting anion.

To have a deep understanding of the reaction mechanisms, the structural characterizations of organocopper intermediates become indispensable. Meanwhile, the structure- function relationship of organocopper compounds would advance rational design and development of new Cu-based reactions and organocopper reagents. Compared to the mono- carbonic ligand, the C,N- and C,C-bidentate ligands better stabilize the unstable organocopper compounds. The bidentate ligands can chelate to the same copper atom via 휂2-mode, forming a mono-cupra-cyclic compounds with at least one acute C-Cu-C angle. When the bidentate ligands bind to two copper atoms via 휂1-mode at each coordinating site, the bimetallic macrocyclic compounds will form nearly linear C-Cu-C angles.

I Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors Dr. Bao N. Nguyen and Prof. Patrick McGowan for providing me with the opportunity to undertake this PhD. Bao, you deserve a medal for putting up with me for four whole years! Thank you dearly for everything you have taught me. Patrick, though our meetings were few and far between, I always left them brimming with new ideas and knowledge. I must also thank the wonderful Dr. Alexander Kulak; chiefly for all of your assistance with AAS and SEM analysis but also for being a friendly face that never failed to brighten my days. I’ll deeply miss the hours we spent, shouting over the noise of the spectrometer and trying to work out why it would develop an entirely new issue every time we used it.

    Chem 341 • Organic Chemistry I Lecture Summary 29 • November 02, 2007 Chapter 10 - Alkyl Halides Preparation of Organometallic Compounds - Grignard reagents Alkyl halides are good electrophiles. We will examine their reactivity in nucleophilic substitution in detail in the next chapter. Another useful property of alkyl halides as that reducing metals can insert between the C-X bond to prepare a C-metal bond. This drastically alters the reactivity as the metal is less electronegative than carbon. Thus, the reactivity of the carbon is reversed from being an electrophile to being a nucleophile. Grignard reagents are formed from the insertion of Mg metal into the C-X bond. These reagents are very reactive as bases and electrophiles and are extremely sensitive to any source of proton (water, ROH, RNH2, etc). This can be useful if one wants to reduce an alkyl halide to an alkane. It is also a useful method of introducing hydrogen isotopes, such as deuterium, by reaction of the Grignard reagent with heavy water (D stands for Deuterium, the isotope of hydrogen 2H). Grignard reagents can be prepared from a variety of different kinds of organohalides (eg. Alkyl halides, vinyl halides, etc.). One important reaction of Grignard reagents is their ability to add to carbonyl compounds (C=O double bonds). You will study this in detail next semester. δ− δ+ δ+ Br δ− Mg Br D Mg D2O O reactivity of OH carbon reversed R H then H+ R Preparation of Organometallic Compounds - Gilman reagents Lithium metal reacts with organohalides in a simlar fashion as magnesium.
