The deprotonation of a dicarbamate prepared from cis-1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol by sec-butyllithium/(-)-sparteine proceeds with efficient selection between the enantiotopic branches and their diastereotopic protons with high preference for the pro-S proton at the R branch to afford the intermediate, configurationally stable lithium compound as a single diastereomer. Trapping of this intermediate by electrophiles (DOMe, CO2, CH3I, Me3SiCl, or R3SnCl) takes place with retention of the configuration to yield highly enantiomerically and diastereomerically enriched substitution products, which are easily converted to diols, to anellated tetrahydrofurans, or to gamma-lactones. The chiral base is also capable of efficient kinetic resolution of the racemic alpha-deuterated starting material, by the utilization of an extraordinarily high kinetic H/D isotope effect within the deprotonation step. The, presumably first example of the kinetic resolution of a racemic stannane by lithiodestannylation, utilizing methyllithium/(-)-sparteine, is reported.
