Ihe prochiral lithium 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexenolate (2) was prepared from ketone 1 by deprotonation with lithium (S,S)-a,a'-dimethyldibenzylamide(4). Reaction of 2 with carbon dioxide at low temperature followed by methylation with metFy1 iodide yielded the corresponding ester 3 with an e.e. of 67%
Enantioselective alkylation of lactams and lactones can be realized up to 98% ee by deprotonation with a chiral tetradentate lithium amide (4b) in the presence of lithium bromide, and subsequent alkylation with active alkylating agents in non-chelating solvents.
