Abstract
Lateral lithiation - electrophilic quench of 2-substituted N,N-dialkyl-1-naphthamides proceeds with high levels of diastereoselectivity in favour of one atropisomer of the product. Similar atroposelectivity may be observed in the reactions of 2-substituted benzamides, provided the products are trapped at low temperature by a subsequent in situ ortholithiation - alkylation reaction.
