Transition states and origins of 1,4-asymmetric induction in alkylations of 2,2,6-trialkylpiperidine enamines.

The asymmetric C-alkylation of chiral enamines derived from terminal epoxides and lithium 2,2,6-trialkylpiperidides has previously been shown to provide alpha-alkylated aldehydes by intermolecular nucleophilic substitution in good levels of asymmetric induction. We now report a computational study o...
