Lateral lithiation-electrophilic quench of 2-alkyl-1-naphthamides and 2,6-dialkylbenzamides yields products containing an atropisomeric Ar-CO axis and a new stereogenic centre with high (generally >95:5) diastereo-selectivity. With imines as electrophiles, single diastereoisomers containing an atropisomeric axis and two new stereogenic centres are formed. 2,6-Dialkylbenzamides may be functionalised stereoselectively at both the 2- and 6-positions, leading (with imines) to symmetrical compounds bearing 1,7-related stereogenic centres. 2-Alkylbenzamides with only one ortho alkyl group are not atropisomeric at ambient temperature but are functionalised diastereoselectively by lateral lithiation-electrophilic quench at - 78°C. Stabilisation of the atropisomeric products by further lithiation and alkylation proves their diastereoselective formation. The lack of stereospecificity in the fluoride-promoted reaction of a laterally silylated 1-naphthamide with an aldehyde suggests that reported reactions of laterally silylated benzamides may also be controlled by the rotationally restricted amide group.
Remote stereocontrol using rotationally restricted amides: (1,5)-Asymmetric induction

The stereochemical influence of a rotationally restricted amide group extends widely across substituted aromatic amides. Stereogenic centres can be created with high levels of (1,5)-stereocontrol when electrophiles are added to the enolates of 2-ketonaphthamides or to lithiated 2-alkylnaphthamides. Sequential double lateral lithiation of 2,6-dialkylbenzamides can lead to compounds containing (1,5) related stereogenic centres by a process of two-directional asymmetric induction.
