51. We have previously shown that the doubly diastereoselective conjugate addition of lithium N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to a range of chiral α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds proceeds under the dominant stereocontrol of the lithium amide, for instance see

62. 1H NMR spectra of the crude reaction mixtures and the isolated products precluded a more accurate determination of the reaction diastereoselectivity and/or product diastereoisomeric ratio.
63. In the case of the Hegedus synthesis a common intermediate was also derivatised to (+)-negamycin 1, and in the case of the I.C.I. Pharma synthesis the C(3)-stereogenic centre within (-)-5-epi-negamycin 2 was derived from (R)-aspartic acid; their stereochemical assignments are therefore secure.
