The authors report the first structural characterization of the adduct formed between a monoanion and a base, such as that formed by reaction of a carbon acid (here, phenylacetonitrile) with ≥2 molar equivalents of base (here, lithium diisopropylamide)— namely, “QUADAC” ( 1 .2 TMEDA). It reacts as a “dianion” with alkyl halides and D 2 O to give dialkylated and dideuterated products, respectively.
