摘要
Lithiation and methylation of amide and carbamate derivatives of alpha-methylbenzylamine proceeds with high diastereoselectivity in favour of meso bis-alpha-methylbenzylamine derivatives, Carboxylation of the intermediate organolithium is also diastereoselective, and with N-Boc p-methoxy-alpha-methylbenzylamine as starting material, oxidative cleavage provides a new asymmetric route to phenylglycine. Other electrophiles give a range of stereochemical outcomes, apparently depending on the stereospecificity of their reactions with a pair of diastereoisomeric organolithiums of low to moderate configurational stability.
