The reaction of allene (3a) and alkyl substituted allenes 1,2-hexadiene (3b), cyclopropylallene (3c), and vinylidene cyclopropane (3d) with lithium metal was investigated in order to access 2,3-dilithioalkenes 4a-d. These dilithioalkenes 4a-d are very reactive in polar solvents like THF and act as strong bases, either metalation of the starting allene 3a-d, the solvent, or sufficiently acidic intermediates like 8 a-d is observed. The metalation products 5-7 show follow-up reactions like 1,3-H shift to the corresponding 1-lithio-1-alkynes 8 and subsequent metalation to the dilithioalkynes 9. Additionally, lithium hydride elimination and ring-chain rearrangement (for 5c) are observed. 1,2-Hexadiene (3b) can be brought to reaction with lithium metal in the apolar solvent pentane, here the follow-up reactions are much slower due to the insolubility of 4b. In all cases the elucidation of the reaction pathways is hampered by the formation of complex mixtures of, amongst others, regio- and stereoisomeric products upon quenching with simple electrophiles.

Metalation of alk-1-enes, using the mixture of butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydropyran, followed by stereohomogenization and ultimate treatment with chlorotrimethylsilane afforded a series of alk-2-enyltrimethylsilanes in good yield and with (Z/E) ratios ranging from 95:5 to 98:2. The deprotonation of propene can be rapidly and readily accomplished with a stoichiometric amount of the superbase suspended in pentane on a 1 mol scale.

The electrochemical reduction of benzyl and allyl halides carried out in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane afforded the corresponding benzylsilanes and allylsilanes in satisfactory yields.
