4. The authors wish to point out the large difference between the enantioselective carbometalation with a chiral ligand on the organometallic derivative (chiral complexation) with the diastereoselective carbometalation generated by a chiral substrate (even if the chiral moiety can be cleaved in a second step). In this bibliographic section, only the former case is described. For the references concerning the second alternative, see ref. [3].

67. However, when the same reaction was applied to the dimethyl acetal (or the cinnamyl diethylamine) of (Z) sterochemistry, (Z)-8, the opposite enantiomer is effectively obtained; however, the enantioselectivity dropped to only 30%.
68. The carbolithiation of (Z)-9 occurred in 8 h at 0°C to yield only 50% of carbometalated product with 28% ee.

73. When an electrophile (such as MeOD) is added to the benzylic organolithium compound, generated by carbolithiation on β-methyl-styrene (no intramolecular chelation), the diastereoselectivity is poor (d.r. = 60:40).
