Catalytic carbanion reactions: formation and reaction of carbanions from ester or amide equivalents using catalytic amounts of bases.
We describe here carbanion reactions using catalytic amounts of bases. The carbanions formed are different from conventional carbanions in which stoichiometric amounts of bases are needed for the formation. Two types of reactions using such carbanions from amide (imido) and ester equivalents are discussed.
