H CH3 1. LDA 2. CHal НН H3C CN H3C CN Monocarbonyl compounds can be alkylated at the a position via the use of lithium disopropylamide, a strong, sterically hindered base Because only one carbonyl group is available to participate in resonance stabilization of the enolate, the a-hydrogens are less acidic than those of P-dicarbonyl compounds and so a stronger base is necessary to completely convert the compound to the enolate. The reaction occurs in a pola aprotic solvent such...
