Highly Enantioselective (−)-Sparteine-Mediated Lateral Metalation-Functionalization of Remote Silyl Protected <i>ortho</i>-Ethyl <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-Dialkyl Aryl <i>O</i>-Carbamates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report the enantioselective, lateral deprotonation of ortho-protected or functionalized tertiary N,N-dialkyl aryl O-carbamates 5-7 (Scheme 2 ) and meta-protected carbamates 14, 15, and 20 (Schemes 5 and 7 ) by s-BuLi/(-)-sparteine and subsequent quench with a variety of electrophiles to give products 11-13 and 16, 17, and 21 in yields up to 96% and enantiomeric ratios up to 99:1. The influence of organolithium reagents, ratio of organolithium/(-)-sparteine pair versus N,N-dialkyl aryl O-carbamate starting materials, temperature, solvents, electrophiles, substituents located ortho or meta to the O-carbamate moiety, and O-carbamate N-substituents was investigated. The identical absolute configuration of the stereogenic center of the major enantiomers of the products, as established by single-crystal X-ray analysis for substrates (S)-11c, (S)-19, and (S)-21a, provides evidence for a consistent stereochemical course in the enantioselective deprotonation. Mechanistic investigations, including an estimate of the configurational stability of the benzyllithium species 9 (starting from 12e; Scheme 8 ) and 23 (starting from 17e; Scheme 9 ), both derived by tin-lithium exchange, and 24 (starting from 20; Scheme 9 ) are reported. The experimental results, together with semiempirical molecular orbital calculations (PM3/SMD), are consistent with a process in which enantioinduction occurs in the deprotonation step (Scheme 11 ).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
