The deprotonation of a dicarbamate prepared from cis-1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol by sec-butyllithium/(À)-sparteine proceeds with efficient selection between the enantiotopic branches and their diastereotopic protons with high preference for the pro-S proton at the R branch to afford the intermediate, configurationally stable lithium compound as a single diastereomer. Trapping of this intermediate by electrophiles (DOMe, CO 2 , CH 3 I, Me 3 SiCl, or R 3 SnCl) takes place with retention of the configuration to yield highly enantiomerically and diastereomerically enriched substitution products, which are easily converted to diols, to anellated tetrahydrofurans, or to g-lactones. The chiral base is also capable of efficient kinetic resolution of the racemic adeuterated starting material, by the utilization of an extraordinarily high kinetic H/D isotope effect within the deprotonation step. The, presumably, first example of the kinetic resolution of a racemic stannane by lithiodestannylation, utilizing methyllithium/(À)-sparteine, is reported.
