The transmetalation reaction occurring between phenyllithium and tetravinyltin (4: 1 molar ratio) in ether produces vinyllithium in good yield. A similar reaction occurs between n-butyllithium and tetravinyltin in pentane; in this case solid vinyllithium precipitates. Vinyllithium is more stable in ether and tetrahydrofuran solution than are nbutyllithium or phenyllithium. The use of vinyllithium in the preparation of a number of previously known vinyl compounds, as well as of the new STAB(CH = CH/sub 2/)/sub 4/!/sup -/ and STAB(CH ~ CH/sub 2/ ) (C/sub 6/H/sub 5/)/sub 3/!/sup -/ ions, is described.
