29. The stereoselectivity of both the dearomatizing addition and the alkylation appears to be greater than 10:1, as no stereoisomeric dearomatized products were observable in the NMR spectrum of the crude reaction mixture. We assume that the configuration of the product arises from coordination of isopropyllithium to the basic nitrogen atom of the oxazoline, followed by 1,4-addition to the 2-position of the p-methoxyphenyl ring from the face anti to the 4-phenyl substituent of the oxazoline ring. Details of the mechanism are still under investigation; however, preliminary attempted trapping experiments suggest that radical intermediates are not involved.
