Abstract

Successive treatment of acylsultams with nBuLi or NHMDS and primary alkyl halides, followed by crystallization, gave pure C(α)-alkylation products and, via their non-destructive cleavage, enantiomerically pure alcohols or carboxylic acids. Alkylation of acylsultams 2 with primary alkyl halides gave pure 4 which was cleaved to enantiomerically pure alcohols (5) or carboxylic acids (6).
