Popis: trans-1,2-Cyclohexanediamine, -diether, and -amino ether were compared as chiral inducers in the asymmetric intramolecular carbolithiation of olefinic aryllithiums. Switching from diamine to ethereal ligands inverts the sense of asymmetric induction. This reversal of stereoselectivity was investigated through density functional theory calculations. High enantioselectivities observed with diether and amino ether ligands arise from favorable weak interactions between the ligand and the substrate. The relative efficiency of the three ligands and sense of stereoinduction for the most efficient diether and amino ether ligands prove to be foreseeable by modeling the reaction with the parent achiral 1,2-bidentate additives and comparing the diastereomeric transition states stemming from the two half-chair conformations of their lithium chelate.
