Chiral lithium amido sulfide ligands for asymmetric addition reactions of alkyllithium reagents to aldehydes

Six chiral amino sulfides have been synthesised from the amino acids phenylalanine, phenylglycine and valine. These amino sulfides were used as chiral ligands in the asymmetric addition of n-butyllithium and metyllithium to various aldehydes at low temperatures. The highest stereoselectivities were obtained with benzaldehyde, resulting in 1-phenyl-1-pentanol and 1-phenyl-1-ethanol in enantiomeric excesses of >98.5 and 95%, respectively. These stereoselectivities were significantly higher than those induced by the ether analogues.

Conversion of chiral amino acids to enantiomerically pure α-methylamines

Enantiomerically enriched α-methylamines are obtained in high yield by Raney nickel reduction of N-Boc-protected, amino acid-derived thioethers.
