Deprotonation of allyl chloride with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) at low temperature gives a red solution of α-chloroallyllithium. The condensation with various electrophiles (alkyl halides, aldehydes, boric acid esters, Me3SiCl, Bu3SnCl) is described and the regioselectivity (α vs γ) is discussed.
