✦ Synopsis
Organolithium addition to styrene and its derivatives, followed by electrophilic trapping, has been investigated in the presence of (-)-sparteine. With styrene, enantiomeric excesses up to 30% were observed, the ee depending on the solvent, temperature and electrophile. With 2-substituted styrenes, butyllithium addition followed by carboxylation gave a range of 2-arylheptanoic acids with ee's up to 72% (with 2-methoxystyrene in cumene at -95°C). ¢~
