Abstract

Treatment of RCH(OMEM)CFBr2 with n-BuLi at -130°C in the presence of 4-heptanone gives the corresponding adduct diastereoselectively. The stereochemical outcome is explained in terms of the chelation between lithium and oxygen atoms of the MEM group. Starting with 2-phenylpropanal, a product is produced highly selectively containing three contiguous stereocenters including a -CFBr- moiety.
