I believe that you can use either diethyl ether or THF as solvents.
Although the book uses diethyl ether as examples, it
does not seem to matter which ether you use because it is not involved in
the NET reaction and formation of the organolithium compounds. (It is not
part of the products.)
I hope this is correct!
