Gawley, Robert E. published the artcileAlkylation of 2-lithio-N-methylpiperidines and -pyrrolidines: scope, limitations, and stereochemistry, Formula: C8H15NO2, the main research area is alkylation lithio piperidine pyrrolidine stereochem.
The scope and limitations of the alkylation of racemic and nonracemic 2-lithiopiperidines and 2-lithiopyrrolidines, obtained by transmetalation of the corresponding stannanes, is reported. These organolithiums react with a variety of electrophiles to afford 2-substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines in excellent yield. With primary alkyl halides the reaction proceeds with net inversion of configuration at the metal-bearing carbon in the piperidines; in the pyrrolidines there is a mixture of inversion and retention, with the former predominating. With most carbonyl electrophiles (carbon dioxide, di-Me carbonate, Me chloroformate, pivaloyl chloride, benzaldehyde, and dialkyl ketones), retention is observed in both cases. Electrophiles such as benzophenone, benzyl bromide, and tert-Bu bromoacetate afford racemic coupling products. A mechanistic interpretation is presented.
