Synthetic applications of carbolithiation transformations.
Carbolithiation reactions are exceptionally versatile transformations which have been utilised in a remarkably diverse and creative manner. In this review we outline the background and scope of these reactions and then focus on their use in organic synthesis with a particular emphasis on literature examples published since 2000.
