32. Acyclic ketones as 8 are of lesser utility, giving mixtures of diastereomeric alcohols (ca. 1:1) which are difficult to separate, whereas benzopiranone 12 leads to dirty mixtures of stannylated phenols resulting from lactone cleavage.
33. We think that the high de observed in the RLi additions to 13 is not entirely due to the gem-dimethyl group but also due to the tin-effect. In fact, destannylation of 13 (HI/THF, room temperature) followed by Meli addition renders a lower stereoselectivity, now yielding mixtures of diastereomeric alcohols (ratio ca. 5.5:1), the major alcohol being the one with the expected syn (OH/gem-dimethyl) stereochemistry.
34. It could be pointed out that torsional strain and steric factors developing in a transition state for 1,2-addition to ketones 9 and 10 would favor an equatorial (or pseudoequatorial) attack of the organolithium reagent leading to the observed stereochemistry; however, the extremely high diastereo-selectivity found with organolithium compounds is not consistent with literature data. In general, for substituted cyclopentanones, poor selectivities are reported (Comprehensive Organic Synthesis; Trost, B., Fleming, I., Eds.; Pergamon, Elmsford, NY, 1991; Vol. 1), and even 3-tert-butylcyclohexanone, which probably is sterically more demanding than the 3-alkenyl-stannane derivative 10, reacts with MeLi giving only a 78:22(cis:trans) ratio (Rei, M. H. J. Org. Chem. 1979. 44, 2760).
