Abstract

Abstract Complementary asymmetric alkylation reaction of the lithioenamine derived from 2- methoxycarbonylcyclohexanone and (S)-valine tert-butyl ester was examined by employing the various electron pair donating additives in a toluene solvent, in order to clarify the factors controlling the diastereoface selectivity.
