Notes:
In the presence of donor bases like THF lithium atoms are able to activate benzene derivatives under cryogenic reaction conditions. Only ring-metalated products and solid lithium hydride are formed selectively. The thermodynamically favored product benzyllithium or biphenyl generated by dimerization of free phenyl radicals are not found. This is one of the very few examples of metal atoms undergoing a C - H activation without further photoexcitation.
