Abstract
Asymmetric syntheses of 4,5,6- and 3,4,5,6-substituted azepanes have been achieved by highly diastereoselective and enantioselective (−)-sparteine-mediated asymmetric lithiation−conjugate additions of N-Boc-N-(p-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-substituted allylamines to a β-aryl α,β-unsaturated ester followed by hydrolysis, cyclization, and reduction. Access to the enantiomeric adduct is provided by an invertive lithiation−stannylation−lithiation sequence.
