The diastereoselective nucleophilic addition of alkyllithium to N- alkylidene-α-naphthylethylamine was carried out. In the presence of Lewis acids or Lewis bases, organolithiums reacted smoothly with imines to give the corresponding amines in high stereoselectivity (up to 100% de). Furthermore, the resulting optically active amines were found to be useful for asymmetric reactions as chiral ligands.

It was observed that diastereofacial selectivity in the addition reaction of organometallics to the chiral imines derived from (R)-2-methoxy-1-phenylethylamine was regulated under appropriate conditions; i. e., organolithium and organocerium reagents added from the re-face of the chiral imines selectively, while organocopper reagents attacked from the si-face.The utility of the present method was demonstrated in the enantioselective synthesis of solenopsin A.
