(Graph Presented) A system consisting of a chiral lithium amide and n-BuLi in tol-d8 solution was investigated with 1H and 13C INEPT DOSY, 6Li and 15N NMR, and other 2D NMR techniques. A mixed 2:1 trimeric complex was identified as the major species as the stoichiometry approached 1.5 equiv of n-BuLi to 1 equiv of amine compound. 1H and 13C INEPT DOSY spectra confirmed this lithium aggregate in the solution. The formula weight of the aggregate, correlated with diffusion coefficients of internal references, indicated the aggregation number of this complex. Plots of log Dre1 vs log FW are linear (r > 0.9900). 6Li and 15N NMR titration experiments also corroborated these results. These NMR experiments indicate that this mixed aggregate is the species that is responsible for asymmetric addition of n-BuLi to aldehydes.

Enantioselective alkylation of carboxylic acids (1) and (2) at the α-position can be performed using the chiral lithium isopropylamides (3) or (4), which function as both a strong base and a chiral auxiliary.

A surprising turn of events: Mechanistic studies, including trapping, control, and isotope-labeling experiments, led to the proposal of a rearrangement mechanism involving oxidation of aliphatic C-H bonds (see scheme; TMEDA=tetramethylethylenediamine).

Enantioselective butylation of benzaldehyde with n-butyllithium was mediated by a series of chiral lithium amide analogues to give 1-phenylpentanol in good to moderate enantioselectivities. In order to achieve high enantiomeric excess in the reaction, the lithium amide must have a substituent larger than methyl on both the carbon at the stereogenic center and the nitrogen. Computational studies, using semi-empirical (PM3) and density functional (B3LYP) methods, show that the stabilities of the transition states for the chiral lithium amide accelerated butylation of isobutyraldehyde are in agreement with experiments.
Investigation of the importance of nitrogen substituents in a N-P chiral ligand for enantioselective allylic alkylation

The synthesis of three chiral chelate nitrogen-phosphorus (S)-valine derived ligands with the potential for stereogenic nitrogen donation is described. In palladium catalysed allylic substitution reactions the ligands induced varying enantioselectivities ranging from 92% e.e. of the (R)-enantiomer to 83% e.e. of the (S)-enantiomer. Structural and spectroscopic investigations into the origin of this effect were conducted, but were inconclusive. However, the importance of the consideration of N-substituents in such systems is highlighted.
