M. Majewski et al., Chiral lithium amides on solid support: synthesis and applications in enantioselective deprotonation of cyclic ketones, TETRAHEDR L, 40(50), 1999, pp. 8755-8758
Several chiral amines attached to polymer support (Merrifield resin or a so
luble analog) are described. Lithium amides, generated from these amines by
treatment with BuLi, react with C-S-symmetrical ketones to give the corres
ponding enolates enantioselectively (ee up to 75%). (C) 1999 Elsevier Scien
