A series of heterosubstitued alkynes was successfully submitted to the intramolecular carbolithiation of their triple bond. We show that the addition is stereoselective because of the control exerted by the terminal substituent X on the geometry of the transition state. A complementary DFT study suggests that the addition is anti when a strong Li-X interaction occurs.

Synthetic Studies of Javaberine A Based on Intramolecular Hydroamination of Alkenes.

A total synthesis of javaberine A was achieved through a lithium amide-mediated intramolecular hydroamination of an N-allyl aminoalkene. The desired hydroamination was accomplished using an excess of i-PrNH with a substoichiometric amount of n-BuLi. Using an excess of both n-BuLi and i-PrNH led to tandem cyclization, however, resulting in the construction of a tricyclic structure through the formation of one C-N and two C-C bonds in a single operation.

In this paper, we describe the lithiation of -benzylpyrene-1-carboxamide with RLi-TMEDA. We found that the reaction outcome strongly depends on the electrophile used in the quenching step. The electrophile can be introduced at either the benzylic position or at the C-2 position in the pyrene nucleus.

-1,2-Cyclohexanediamine, -diether, and -amino ether were compared as chiral inducers in the asymmetric intramolecular carbolithiation of olefinic aryllithiums. Switching from diamine to ethereal ligands inverts the sense of asymmetric induction. This reversal of stereoselectivity was investigated through density functional theory calculations.

Various secondary alkyl iodides bearing a remote alkynylsilane underwent intramolecular carbolithiations triggered by an I/Li-exchange performed at -100 °C using t-BuLi (2.5 equiv). The resulting alkenyllithiums were stereoselectively converted to tetrasubstituted cyclopentane exo-alkylidenes.

A new class of chiral 1,2-amino ether ligands, readily accessible from naturally occurring α-amino- or α-hydroxy acids, was found to provide high levels of both conversion and stereocontrol (up to 95:5 er) in intramolecular carbolithiation reactions, outperforming the benchmark ligand (-)-sparteine. The ligand could be used in a substoichiometric amount (0.25 equiv) without significant loss of enantioselectivity.
