Total enantioselectivity has been observed in pinacol formation using Li/THF. (+) Camphor and (±) Camphor give the optically active and racemic form of a single pinacol whose stereochemistry has been established as endo:endo by X-ray analysis. An exo:endo pinacol is formed as the sole product if camphor is added to Li/NH3. Tentative mechanism is proposed.
