The effect of aggregation on the stereochemistry of electrophilic attack on ester enolate anions has been studied by comparing the diastereoselectivity of protonation of the LDA-generated dianion bf I 1 in THF/DMPU with the H/D exchange of 3 under non-ion-pairing conditions. The LDA results are consistent with proton transfer to the:enolate occurring preferentially from the tightly complexed secondary amine. Proton sources of varying steric requirements produced the same diastereomeric ratio, 63:37 2R*,3R*/2R*,3S* of 2. Added BuLi and the omission of DMPU gave the same diastereomeric mixture. In contrast to the LDA results, ethyl beta-hydroxy- and beta-alkoxybutyrates undergo base-catalyzed H/D exchange largely through antiperiplanar transition states, with diastereoselectivity opposite of that found in-the LDA-enolate protonation. Thus, the geometry of the LDA-enolate aggregate, rather than steric and electronic factors in the monomer, is responsible for the stereochemistry of enolate anion protonation. The lower diastereoselectivity in the H/D exchange of 6 in THF is accounted forby ion-pairing effects, as the use of Me(4)NOD produced 92% of the 2R*,3R* diastereomer; Use of polar solvents in the H/D exchange also raised the diastereoselectivity to a 10:1 ratio or higher.
