Lateral lithiation of (S)-4-isopropyl-2-(o-tolyl)oxazoline in diethyl ether followed by the reaction with aldehydes in the presence of TMEDA produced the addition products with stereoselectivities up to 84% de. Utilization of TMEDA as a ligand is essential for the good selectivity. Rationale for the stereoselectivity is proposed based on ab initio calculation of the lateral lithio species. The major
