A comparison of 1,3- and 1,5-asymmetric induction shows the former to have far greater selectivity in the methylation of chiral dipole-stabilized organolithiums.The asymmetric alkylation of N-benzyloxazolidinones is employed as the key step in a new synthesis of primary amines by asymmetric alkylation α to nitrogen.
