Abstract: | Tertiary 1-naphthamides racemise much more slowly than their laterally lithiated derivatives, and the relative rates of racemisation and epimerisation of these derivatives indicate that the lithium-bearing stereogenic centre inverts via a "conducted tour" mechanism, in which the lithium cation is delivered from one face to the other by coordination to the rotating amide group. |
