Employing the previously described glycosidation conditions in the synthesis of (-)-clavosolide A (references [3f] and [3i]) with the methyl ether derivative of xylose a 1:1 mixture of diastereoisomers was obtained. Hong and Breit reported a 79:21 and a 77:23 ratio of anomers in a related glycosidation reaction (references [3j] and [3k], respectively).

59. Lithiation-deuteration experiments showed that this sequence was necessary, otherwise competing deprotonation of 3 a occurred at the allylic position.

70. This effect will of course be counterbalanced by its poorer ability to coordinate to the organolithium compared to the carbamate.
71. Using TMEDA in place of the chiral ligand gave a 55:45 ratio of diastereomers showing that substrate control in the lithiation step was low. No lithiation occurred in the absence of diamines. For an intramolecular oxygen-directed lithiation of a carbamate by an acetonide see:, H. Helmke, D. Hoppe, Synlett 1995, 978.
