Abstract

Abstract: A facile protocol for the electrophilic C-substitution (methylation, acylation, a- hydroxyalkylation, and carboxylation) of several 2-(N, N-dibenzylamino) alkan-1-ols via the carbamates 10 is reported. The stereochemistry of the lithiation is greatly influenced by the complexing diamine. The substrate-directed selection between the diastereotopic a-pro-R and pro-S protons in the TMEDA-assisted deprotonation is largely shifted towards pro-S- ...
