Notes:
3-Substituted aliphatic ketones 10 have been obtained in excellent optical yields by alkylation of the aminoallyllithium compound endo-8, a homoenolate equivalent of hexane-3-one, using prolinol ether (SMP) as the chiral auxiliary. The intermediate endo-8 was generated by tin-lithium exchange of the 3-stannylated enamine 7a with butyllithium. An improved hydrolysis procedure for the resulting enamines is described. Some mechanistic implications with respect to the formation as well as the alkylation of endo-8 are discussed.
