W. Dolling et al., THE USE OF ALPHA-HETEROATOM SUBSTITUTED C-NUCLEOPHILES AND HETEROCUMULENES IN ENANTIOSELECTIVE AND DIASTEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESES, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 95-6(1-4), 1994, pp. 409-411
C-Nucleophiles derived by deprotonation from tropinone 1, cis-bicyclo[
3.3.0]octane-3,7-dione 3, and its 1,5-dimethyl derivative 4, react wit
h carbon disulfide and alkylating agents to the corresponding racemate
s of their 2-[bis(alkylthio)-methylene] derivatives 2, 5, and 6, respe
ctively. Diastereoselective alkylations of alkyl )-2-methoxymethyl-pyr
rolidine-1-dithiocarboxylates 7 and its (8) isomers 8 were studied. Th
e enantiomeric dithiocarbamates 7 and 8 react in a diastereoselective
manner with alkyl halides after deprotonation with LiTMP/LiBr at -78 d
egrees C in THF to 9.
