Reactions between different 1‐bromo‐ n ‐chloroalkanes ( 1 – 3 ), lithium/naphthalene (1:2 molar ratio) and a carbonyl compound R 1 R 2 CO in THF at –78 °C provide, after hydrolysis with water, the corresponding chlorinated alcohols 4 through selective lithiation of the carbon–bromine bond. When an excess of lithium (1:7 molar ratio) is added to the reaction mixture before the hydrolysis, lithiation of the remaining carbon–chlorine bond takes place. The addition of a second carbonyl compound R 3 R 4 CO, followed by hydrolysis, affords the corresponding diols 7 . (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
