Studies on the Bisoxazoline and (-)-Sparteine Mediated Enantioselective Addition of Organolithium Reagents to Imines.


ABSTRACT: The enantioselective addition of organolithium reagents to N-anisyl aldimines promoted by chiral bisoxazolines and (-)-sparteine as external ligands is described. This reaction proceeds readily with a wide range of aldimine substrates (aliphatic, aromatic, olefinic) and organolithium nucleophiles (Me, n-Bu, Ph, vinyl) in excellent yields (81-99%) and with high enantioselectivities (up to 95.5:4.5 er). The external ligands can be used in substoichiometric amounts albeit with slightly attenuated enantioselectivities. A systematic evaluation of the structural features of the bisoxazolines revealed a primary contribution from the substituent at C(4) and a secondary influence from the bridging substituents. A computational analysis (PM3) provided a clear rationalization for the origin of enantioselectivity.
