Alkyllithium reagents (RLi: R = methyl, n-butyl, t-butyl) add to norbornen-7-one either without stereochemical preference (R = n-butyl) or with syn attack favored. This addition selectivity is qualitatively the same as that shown by corresponding alkylmagnesium reagents but competition from reduction is much less important in the case of alkyllithium reagents.Phenyllithium and vinyllithium add preferentially from the anti face, although the corresponding Grignard reagents add selectively from the syn face. Possible causes of the stereoselectivities are considered. Solvent effects on the stereochemistry of addition are small.

Enantiomerically enriched diaryl, aryl heteroaryl, and dihetero­aryl alcohols are an important family of compounds known for their biological properties. Moreover, these molecules are highly privileged scaffolds used as building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant products. This short review provides background on the enantioselective arylation and heteroarylation of carbonyl compounds, as well as, the most significant improvements in this field with special emphasis on the application of organometallic reagents.1 Introduction2 Background on the Enantioselective Synthesis of Diaryl, Aryl Heteroaryl, and Diheteroaryl Alcohols3 Organozinc Reagents4 Organolithium Reagents5 Grignard Reagents6 Organoaluminum Reagents7 Organotitanium Reagents8 Organobismuth Reagents9 Miscellaneous10 Conclusion

SN2′ ring-opening reactions of a number of substituted 11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.01,6]undec-9-en-5-ones prepared via the intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction employing a furan diene (IMDAF) are reported. Primary, secondary, and tertiary organolithium reagents were capable of effecting the ring-opening reaction, while methyllithium required activation before any ring opening was observed. Hydride reagents, organocuprates, and Grignard reagents were generally ineffective. The ring-opening reaction was highly regio- and stereoselective for attack at C9syn to the bridging oxygen atom provided that C8 was not substituted. A highly stereoselective nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group anti to the bridging oxygen was also observed. The high selectivity appears to be due to a combination of steric and electronic effects. Keywords: SN2′ reactions, oxatricyclo adducts, Diels–Alder reaction, ring opening.
