A stoichiometric or catalytic amount of (Γ)-sparteine can serve as a promoter for the enantioselective carbolithiation of cinnamyl derivatives by primary and secondary organolithium compounds. The enantiofacial choice of the addition reaction is dependent on the stereochemistry of the initial double

β¦ Synopsis
Enantioselective Carbolithiation of Cinnamyl Acetals. New Access to Chiral Disubstituted Cyclopropanes. -The use of the dimethyl acetal (I) allows a high enantioselective alkylation in the presence of a catalytic amount of (-)-sparteine to give after hydrolysis and deprotection alkylated alcohols (III). If the reaction mixture is warmed to room temperature, the primarily formed benzylic organolithium intermediate undergoes an internal nucleophilic substitution and a 1,3-elimination to give the title cyclopropanes (IV) with high enantioselectivity.
