A reaction mode of imines derived from naphthalene-1-carbaldehyde and acyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes with organolitium reagents was dependent on the characteristic nature of a substituent on the imine nitrogen atom. An imine having an electron-withdrawing aryl group on the nitrogen atom behaves as a 1,2-directing imine toward organolithium reagents. In contrast, an imine bearing an alkyl

Excellent diastereofacial selectivities over a wide range of temperatures (-78 to 25-degrees-C) were obtained with the title compounds with use of chiral oxazolines derived from (S)-valinol or (S)-tert-leucinol. These are the first useful levels of asymmetric induction observed without the presence of the chelating methoxyl groups. The dihydronaphthylcarbinols and aldehydes resulting from these additions were obtained in > 98% ee.
