The structures, in THF, of 1:1 mixed aggregates of phenyllithium or vinyllithium with a chiral lithium amide derived from a 3-aminopyrrolidine are proposed on the basis of a multinuclear (1H, 6Li, 13C) NMR spectroscopic and DFT theoretical studies. In both cases, the lithium amide adopts an azanorbornyl-like folding and establishes stable coordinations with the C sp2 reactants, leading to rigid complexes that are expected to be at the origin of the inductions observed for the alcohols resulting from the condensation of these mixed aggregates on ortho-tolualdehyde.
