77. Experiment: Carbamate 19 was lithiated in the presence of (-)-sparteine (11) and silylated with TMSCl (TMS=trimethylsilyl) as electrophile by employing essentially the same conditions used in the substitution sequence with chiral bis(oxazoline) 12b. Silane (-)-(S)-21 was obtained in 95% yield and with 4-6% ee.
