The asymmetric deprotonation of N-Boc-piperidine (3) by the 1:1 complex of a sec-alkyllithium and (-)-sparteine has been investigated both experimentally and computationally. The lithlation of 3 with sec-BuLi-(-)-sparteine at -78 degreesC, which is a much slower process than is the analogous deprotonation of N-Boc-pyrrolidine (1) and a minor reaction relative to the competing addition of sec-BuLi to the carbamate, proceeds with a moderate degree of selectivity (er = 87:13) for removal of the pro-S hydrogen of 3. The related deprotonation of N-Boc-4-tosyloxypiperidine (6) with two molar equiv of sec-BuLi-(-)-sparteine also involves preferential transfer of the pro-S hydrogen. The computational study of the deprotonation of (3) by i-PrLi-(-)-sparteine found that the proton that is preferentially transferred within three-component intermediate complex is the thermodynamically least acidic alpha-hydrogen of 3. The asymmetric deprotonation of 3 is calculated to proceed with poor enantioselectivity and to have an activation energy considerably higher than that calculated for deprotonation of N-Boc-pyrrolidine (1). The experimental and computational results are in good agreement.
