Stereoselective α-alkylation of α,β-unsaturated esters utilizing conjugate addition of nitrogen nucleophiles (R2NLi)
Abstract
Treatment of α,β-unsaturated esters (1) with lithium amides [LiNPri2 and LiN(CH2Ph)SiMe3] followed by alkylation and elimination of the amino groups produced trisubstituted enoates (2) with high stereoselectivity.
