  Carbanion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A carbanion is an anion in which carbon has an unshared pair of electrons and bears a negative charge usually with three substituents for a total of eight valence electrons.
The stability and reactivity of a carbanion is determined by several factors.
A carbanion is a reactive intermediate and is encountered in organic chemistry for instance in the E1cB elimination reaction and in organometallic chemistry in for instance a Grignard reaction or in alkyl lithium chemistry.

 Anionic addition polymerization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An anionic addition polymerization of vinyl monomers is an addition polymerization initiated by a strong base and anion, such as an alkali amide, or an organometallic compound, such as n-butyllithium.
A nucleophilic carbanion is formed containing an unshared pair of electrons.
Confronted with a carbon molecule with a terminal double bond, such as ethene and a wide variety of monomer vinyl compounds as styrene or acrylonitrile, a conjugate addition occurs between the terminal carbon atom of the carbanion and the first carbon atom of the C = C bond.

Carbanions introduces the characteristic reactions occurring at the alpha hydrogen of carbonyls.
This unit on carbanions begins with a treatment of the alpha hydrogen and its significantly acidic character, a factor which permits reaction with a particularly strong base, such as lithium diisopropylamide.
The rearrangement of the carbanion under appropriate conditions to form the familiar enolate ion and subsequently keto-enol tautomerism is addressed.

 carbanion --  Encyclopædia Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Carbanions are formally derived from neutral organic molecules by removal of positively charged atoms or groups of atoms, and they are important chiefly as chemical intermediates—that is, as substances used in the preparation of other substances.
In the former, the negative charge is confined largely to one carbon atom, whereas, in the latter, it is distributed over several atoms.
Perhaps the most common reaction of carbanions is their action as bases—as shown in the first equation in this article.

Use of carbanion (from Grignard reagents) to reduce esters proceeds to the alcohol.
Since this occurs with C-C bond formaton, the alcohol formed is tertiary, with two of the three "R" groups on the tertiary C having come from the Grignard reagent.
The ketone is susceptible of attack by a second equivalent of Grignard reagent (2 equivalents being necessary for the complete reaction), which leads to the tertiary alkoxide.

 Thiamine
TPP is a coenzyme for two types of enzymes, alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenases and transketolases, both of which cleave a C-C bond adjacent to a carbonyl group releasing either carbon dioxide or an aldehyde.
In the reaction, a carbanion at C-2 of TPP is first produced.
This glycoaldehyde is said to be activated because it is also a carbanion and readily undergoes nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group of an aldose (erythrose 4-phosphate here).

 Effect of Substituents on Carbanion Stability
All measures of acidity show that there is an unusual level of carbanion stabilization for all second row elements (Cl, S, P, Si, as well as higher elements) when these are bonded to a carbanion center.
In the carbanion the C orbital increases in size, resulting in a stronger sigma bond.
This has several effects on carbanion structure: there are substantial rotational barriers around the C-X bond and the carbanion center is usually more pyramidalized.

Carbocations and carbanions follow the opposite trend in terms of the energy of primary, secondary and tertiary.
However, an allyl (allyllic) carbanion is much lower energy than a primary carbanion, and a benzyl (benzyllic) carbanion is even lower in energy.
This is because of the very strong resonance effects of a benzyl carbanion.

Many substituted carbanions have been studied and serve to establish quantitative kinetic parameters for several types of well known nucleophilic substitution reactions.
We have also been able to demonstrate that the lifetime of these carbanions can be extended by encapsulation in zeolites, where they show Grignard-like reactivity.
Most recently we have been able to increase the lifetime of the ketoprofen carbanion to several minutes, by preparing it in dry THF containing NaH.

O, deuterium is incorporated into the methyl group; this is the result of a less rapid attack of the carbanion on a carbonyl carbon atom which is markedly less positive than that of an aldehyde.
In this case the carbonyl compounds act as the carbanion acceptor because the carbanion formed by the nitro compound tends to be the more stable as it has a more effective delocalisation of its charge.
The phosphorous ylides have hybrid structures, and it is the negative charge on carbon (the carbanion in the ylide) that is responsible for their nucleophilic attack on carbonyl carbon.

 Introduction
The collapse ratio may be influenced by the structure of the carbanion as well as the proton-abstracting base.
The protonated base might be hydrogen bonded to the carbanion throughout the rearrangement, which then proceeds intramolecularly, or it might partly or totally diffuse into the solvent leaving the carbanion more or less free.
The suggested intermediates are tightly hydrogen bonded ion pairs between the protonated amine and the carbanion.

The product carbanion is shown as a zwitterion in the lefthand structure.
However, this ylide, regardless of which of the two resonance forms shown better represent its physical structure, reacts as if it were the charged species: as a nucleophilic carbanion.
The ylide is then treated with a carbonyl compound, in this case cinnamaldehye, Ph-CH=CH-CH=O. The carbanion bonds to the carbonyl carbon, and the oxygen of the C=O becomes bonded to the phosphorous, in a 4 membered ring.

This absorption band is very sensitive to ylide carbanion substituents and, secondly, to the nature of the solvent.
The wavelengths of the ICT band maximum depend on the carbanion substituents.  When X is a nitro group, the electron-withdrawing effect is stronger and there is an advanced delocalization of the anionic charge.
The higher the delocalization of the negative charge along the carbanion is, the higher the wavenumber of the ICT band will be.

The corresponding reaction of acetone to diacetone alcohol proceeds much more slowly and, when carried out in D2O, deuterium is incorporated into the methyl group; this is the result of a less rapid attack of the carbanion on a carbonyl carbon atom which is markedly less positive than that of an aldehyde.
The carboxylate anion abstracts a proton from the a-carbon of the anhydride to form carbanion I. This carbanion undergoes nucleophilic addition to carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde.
This is because the a-hydrogen of b-keto ester are located a to two carbonyl groups and hence ionization yields a particularly stable carbanion in which two carbonyl groups help to accommodate the charge.
