Ja. Marco et al., DIASTEREOSELECTIVITY OF THE REACTIONS OF ORGANOLITHIUM REAGENTS WITH PROTECTED ERYTHRULOSE OXIMES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 9(10), 1998, pp. 1679-1701
The addition of organolithium reagents to the C=N bond of several eryt
hrulose-derived chiral (E)- and (Z)-ketoxime ethers has been shown to
be highly diastereoselective in the case of the (E)-isomers. Chelated
and nonchelated transition states have been proposed to rationalize th
ese results, with additional support of computational methods. (C) 199
