## Abstract Dianions derived from arenes of high reduction potential (biphenyl, naphthalene) and Li~(s)~ can carbometallate propene, isobutene or norbornene among other alkenes, in an intermolecular fashion. This reaction runs at room temperature to afford partially dearomatized alkylated aryl anio
