This issue covers reactions of aldehydes and ketones and their derivatives; reactions of carboxylic, phosphoric and sulfonic acids and their derivatives; oxidation and reduction; carbenes and nitrenes; nucleophilic and electrophilic aromatic substitution; carbocations; nucleophilic aliphatic substitution; carbanions and electrophilic aliphatic substitution; elimination reaction; addition reactions (polar addition and cycloaddition); and molecular rearrangements.
In conjunction with butadiene monomer, such an organolithium based system produces allylic carbanions that are unique in terms of their structure, reactivity and solvency.
In the case of the sequential anionic living polymerization of (meth)acrylic monomers, it is generally known that the nucleophilic attack of polystyryl carbanions on the caronyl group of (meth)acrylic monomer is the most usual side reaction, leading to the limited monomer conversion and branch formation.
