An asymmetric 1,2-addition reaction of organolithiums with imines 3, 7 was catalyzed by a 0.05-1.3 equivalent of a chiral amino ether 2 to provide the corresponding optically active amines 4, 8.

โฆ Synopsis
Unlike the corresponding aldehydes, 2-(N-methylformimino)~NJ-dialkyl-I-naphthamides react highly atroposelectively with simple organolithium reagents lo give atropisomeric amines whose svrt stereochemistry is thermodynamically preferred over anti. 0 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved, Aromatic tertiary amides flanked by two orrho substituents are usually atropisomeric (axially chiral) because of slow rotation about the Ar-CO bond.' Rotationally restricted tertiary amide substituents can be powerful agents for stereocontrol, particularly in lithiated amides,' even at relatively remote centres.4,5 Nucleophilic additions to 2-acyl-1-naphthamides are in general less stereoselective.'j We attributed the poor, metal-dependent stereoselectivity of the additions to 2-formyl-1-naphthamides
