Control of the conformational equilibria of 1,5-diaza-cis-decalins, a new class of chiral diamine ligands, has been investigated. Chiral 2,6- and 3,7-substituted derivatives of 1,5-diaza-cis-decalins were designed to stabilize the conformational form needed to chelate a lithium. These derivatives were synthesized in optically pure form starting from 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin. Due to the rigid and conformationally well-defined nature of these compounds, the potential of these compounds as chiral diamine ligands was investigated. Asymmetric lithiation-substitution reactions of N-Boc-pyrrolidine and N,N-diisopropyl-o-ethylbenzamide were performed using these ligands and up to 60% ee was obtained. For the latter substrate, results spanning a range from 32% ee (R) to 60% ee (S) were obtained (Delta ee = 92%) with 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin ligands differing only in the location of two methyl substituents. Unlike many other diamines that have been employed in asymmetric lithiation-substitution reactions, the limited conformational flexibility of the 1,5-diaza-cis-decalins is analogous to (-)-sparteine such that these results may permit the construction of structure-activity relationships.
