Optically active β-alkyl substituted γ-lactones and whiskey lactone analogues were synthesized, and the odor properties were evaluated. During the preparation of the chiral intermediates, we found good reaction conditions for the highly enantioselective esterification of 3-arylmethyl-2-methyl-1-propanols to kinetically resolve them. The results of the olfactory evaluations of the synthesized lactones revealed that the alkyl groups on the γ-lactone rings played an important role for the odor profiles.
An easy access to enantio-enriched α-substituted aldehydes by carbolithiation of β-phenyl or β-silyl-α,β-ethylenic aldehydes, protected with the monolithioamide of a chiral diamine

Lithium amide derived from N,N,N′-trimethyl-1,2-diphenylethanediamine converts cinnamaldehyde to a lithium alkoxyamide which undergoes a regio- and stereoselective carbolithiation upon addition of various organolithiums. Subsequent hydrolysis or trapping with MeI delivers α-mono-, or α,β-disubstituted 3-phenylpropanals with e.e.s of 76-96%. Extension to a silylated α-enal is possible.

The use of pseudoephedrine as a practical chiral auxiliary for asymmetric synthesis is described in full. Both enantiomers of pseudoephedrine are inexpensive commodity chemicals and can be N-acylated in high yields to form tertiary amides. In the presence of lithium chloride, the enolates of the corresponding pseudoephedrine amides undergo highly diastereoselective alkylations with a wide range of alkyl halides to afford α-substituted products in high yields. These products can then be transformed in a single operation into highly enantiomerically enriched carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones.
