摘要
Deuterium labelling shows that an intramolecular proton transfer ("anion translocation") is a key step in the mechanism leading to an alpha-lithiated tertiary naphthamide and thence to the products of anionic cyclisation. The kinetic isotope effect means that proton transfer from the ortho position can become the sole mechanism for alpha-lithiation, though for undeuterated amides a parallel mechanism also operates in which lithiation occurs directly at the position alpha to nitrogen.
