| Abstract: | The tetrameric cubic structure established for lithium enolates in the solid state is used as a model to discuss several facets of enolate chemistry: solubility, effects of cosolvents, addition to aldehyde and acid chloride, influence of mixed aggregates on diastereo- and enantioselectivities. |
