The chiral base s-butyllithium / (-)-sparteine recognizes the (R)-enantiomer in a 2 phenylpropyl carbamate and the (S)-enantiomer in a 1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl)methyl carbamate. In addition with its high preference for the pro-S proton, highly diastereoselective electrophilic substitutions in the α-position of R-phenylalkanols, combined with efficient kinetic resolution of the racemate, are achieved.
