Primary 5-hexyn-1-yllithiums, which may be generated in virtually quantitative yield by low-temperature lithium-iodine interchange, undergo regiospecific 5-exo-dig cyclization via stereoselectively syn-addition of CH2Li to the alkyne moiety to give vinyllithiums that may be trapped with any of a variety of electrophiles to deliver functionalized cyclopentylidene-containing products.
