RESUMO
Proton abstraction of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-piperidine (N-Boc-piperidine) with sBuLi and TMEDA provides a racemic organolithium that can be resolved using a chiral ligand. The enantiomeric organolithiums can interconvert so that a dynamic resolution occurs. Two mechanisms for promoting enantioselectivity in the products are possible. Slow addition of an electrophile such as trimethylsilyl chloride allows dynamic resolution under kinetic control (DKR). This process occurs with high enantioselectivity and is successful by catalysis with substoichiometric chiral ligand (catalytic dynamic kinetic resolution). Alternatively, the two enantiomers of this organolithium can be resolved under thermodynamic control with good enantioselectivity (dynamic thermodynamic resolution, DTR). The best ligands found are based on chiral diamino-alkoxides. Using DTR, a variety of electrophiles can be used to provide an asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 2-substituted piperidines, including (after Boc deprotection) the alkaloid (+)-beta-conhydrine. The chemistry was extended, albeit with lower yields, to the corresponding 2-substituted seven-membered azepine ring derivatives.

Asymmetric lithiation of substituted benzylamines, N-Boc-pyrrolidine, or N-Boc-indoline using Beak's methodology was followed by electrophilic quench with trialkylboranes. The resulting borate intermediates rearrange with concomitant C-N bond breakage to give, after oxidation, chiral secondary alcohols with high enantioselectivity.

Dynamic thermodynamic resolution of N-Boc-2-lithiopiperidine is possible using a chiral ligand; the two enantiomers of this organolithium can be resolved with selectivities of up to 85 : 15 from a selection of 26 chiral diamino-alkoxide ligands screened.
RESUMO
Asymmetric substitution of 2-lithiopiperidines can be achieved by dynamic resolution; the organolithium is formed as a racemic mixture by proton abstraction (or tin-lithium exchange) and is resolved in the presence of a chiral ligand.
