Abstract

t-Butoxythiocarbonyl (Botc), the long-neglected thiocarbonyl analogue of Boc, facilitates
(unlike its alkoxycarbonyl cousin) α-lithiation and electrophile incorporation on N-Botcazetidine.
N,N,N',N'-endo,endo-tetramethyl-2,5-diaminonorbornane proved optimal as a
chiral ligand, generating adducts in up to 92:8 er. Facile deprotection, under conditions which
left the corresponding N-Boc systems intact, was achieved using either TFA, or via
thermolysis in ethanol.
