Abstract

The stereochemical influence of a rotationally restricted amide group extends widely across substituted aromatic amides. Stereogenic centres can be created with high levels of (1,5)-stereocontrol when electrophiles are added to the enolates of 2-ketonaphthamides or to lithiated 2-alkylnaphthamides. Sequential double lateral lithiation of 2,6-dialkylbenzamides can lead to compounds containing (1,5) related stereogenic centres by a process of two-directional asymmetric induction.
