2-[N-(Diphenylmethyleneamino)]alkyl carbamates are deprotonated by means of sec-butyllithium in the presence of TMEDA or (-)-sparteine and the diastereomeric ion pairs of α-oxycarbanions formed are substituted by several electrophiles. Deprotection proceeds smoothly to yield chain-elongated β-amino alcohols. Problems arise due to nucleophilic attack of the alkyllithium at one aryl ring of the benzophenone imines under certain reaction conditions.
