2,4,6-Triisopropylbenzoates of 1-indanol and 1-tetralol (ee 98%) are deprotonated at -78 °C in hexane by sBuLi/TMEDA to give partly configurationally labile organolithium intermediates 5a and 5b, which are deuterated by MeOD with retention of configuration. These intermediates are stannylated by trimethyltin chloride with inversion as determined by lithiodestannylation followed by addition of MeOD to produce deuterated esters of low ee. Stannylation of (S)-5b with (-)-menthyldimethyltin bromide affords stannane 7 (de ≥ 95%) with inversion. The carbanion derived from (S)-1-indanyl N,N-diisopropylcarbamate (9) is configurationally stable. It reacts with trimethyltin chloride favouring inversion of configuration (ee up to 17%). Tributyltin chloride and tributyltin triflate yield stannanes 11b of opposite stereochemistry the latter giving retention of configuration. Tributyltin bromide behaves similarly to the chloride, but the ee of the reaction product is only about 30%.

1-Aryl-1,2-dialkylethenes were generated by a sequence of electrophilic substitution, 1,2-metalate rearrangement, and β-elimination initiated by the addition of enantioenriched α-(carbamoyloxy)alkylboronates to enantioenriched lithiated carbamates. The carbenoid stereochemical pairing [i.e., “like”=(S)+(S) or “unlike”=(S)+(R)] and the elimination mechanism (syn or anti), not substituent effects, determined the configuration of the trisubstituted alkene target. For example, (Z)-2,5-diphenyl-2-pentene was produced in 70 % yield with E/Z=5:95 by a like combination of Li and B carbenoids and syn (thermal) elimination whereas the E isomer was obtained in the same yield with E/Z>98:2 by an otherwise identical process involving an unlike stereochemical pairing. The concept elaborated overcomes an intrinsic limitation of traditional strategies for direct connective alkene synthesis, which cannot realize meaningful stereochemical bias unless the alkene substituents are strongly differentiated.
