Stereochemistry and relative rate a k(ax) and k(eq) of addition reactions o
n title compounds have been measured under eight different reaction conditi
ons (MeMgI in Et2O and C6H6, MeMgCl in THF, MeLi at 20 and -78 degrees C, M
e2Zn in Et2O, Me3Al in the ratio 1:1 reactant:substrate in toluene and Me2C
uLi/MeLi in Et2O at -78 degrees C). Our kinetic data do not fie with curren
t theories of rr-face diastereoselection. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al
