The anions of the bis-lactim ethers 5-7 serve as model for a systematic investigation of diastereoselective protonation.From 5Li, 6Li, and 7Li in THF at -78 deg C 30 proton sources (-OH, -NH, -SH, -CH) of different acidity and bulkiness produce the following cis/trans ratios: 5 8:92 --> 37:63; 6 15:85 --> 48:52; 7 25:75 --> 59:41 (equilibria ca. 50:50).Substitution of R1 = iPr in 5 by Me (--> 6) decreases the stereoselectivity slightly, but substitution of OMe in 6 by OEt (7) much stronger (Table 1).Most of the added Lewis acids show weak or even leveling effects, whereas with 5K a dramatic change is observed with cis/trans-5 = 27:73 --> 89:11 (Table 2).By variation of solvent and several additives only minor effects on the cis/trans ratio are observed (Table 3).Backed by 13C-NMR spectra of the ion pairs and literature data protonation of 5Li-7Li is supposed to occur on a dimer, which will mainly react to give trans-5-7.The prevailing formation of cis-5 from 5K is explained by the reaction of the monomeric ion aggregat. - Key Words: Diastereoselectivity / Protonation / Pyrazines, dialkoxydihydro-
