Atropisomeric amides as chiral ligands: using (-)-sparteine-directed enantioselective silylation to control the conformation of a stereogenic axis

An enantiomerically pure (1-trimethylsilyl)ethyl group, constructed by a (-)-sparteine-directed enantioselective quench of a laterally lithiated tertiary aromatic amide, exerts powerful thermodynamic control over the conformation of the adjacent tertiary amide substituent. Ortholithiation and functi...
