The cis ‐dilithioalkene 2 a is stable in solution at −30 °C ; it is formed as intermediate during the reductive cleavage of a cyclopropane bond in 1 a leading to 3 a . In contrast, in the analogous reaction of 1 b , only the product 3b of ring‐opening can be detected, and no intermediate. R = Ph(a), cyclopropyl (b).
