Certain hydrocarbons, preferrable strained ones, can be cleaved via electron transfer processes whereby lithium dust or lithium 4,4′‐di‐ tert ‐butylbiphenylide (LiDBB) have been used as electron transfer reagents. For the scission of a C‐C σ‐bond the presence of a π‐system in the neighborhood (α or β) is an absolute prerequisite.
