Compounds of this type are used as catalysts in the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction to generate primary or secondary alcohols. Another one of these is used to synthesize alkynes or produce cyclic molecules, depending on the availability of a beta hydrogen. These compounds react using their HOMOs, and the carbanion formed in the Michael addition is a result of electron-withdrawing substituents of the carbonyl compound reacting with these. The Schlosser type of this is a combination of butyl lithium and potassium tert-butoxide, both examples of these compounds. Conjugate forms of weak examples of these compounds have very low pH, and an alkali refers to one of these that donates hydroxide ions in solution. For 10 points, name these compounds which under the Lewis definition donates electrons and whose strongest example in water is the hy
