Amidures de lithium chiraux; β-elimination de trityllithium a partir d'un amidure de lithium

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(89)87013-5

The synthesis of a chiral secondary amine bearing a N-CH2-trityl moiety is described.The formation of the corresponding lithium amide results in the β-elimination of trityllithium, leading to an intermediate methyleneamiine, which can react with nucleophiles.
