The doubly diastereoselective conjugate addition of the antipodes of lithium N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to a range of enantiopure α,β-unsaturated esters [derived from Corey's 8-phenylmenthol chiral auxiliary] and enantiopure α,β-unsaturated hydroxamates [derived from our 'chiral Weinreb amide' auxiliary (S)-N-1-(1′-naphthyl)ethyl-O-tert- butylhydroxylamine] has been used as a mechanistic probe to determine the reactive conformations of these acceptors. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
