    Notes: The rate of enantiomerization of the racemic α-phenylselenoalkyllithium compound 6 has been determined by dynamic NMR spectroscopy in [D8]THF. The enantiomerization rate was found to be first order with respect to monomeric 6 and to show no conspicuous solvent dependence (diethyl ether; toluene + 1 eq. of THF) or change upon addition of LiClO4. The marked steric effects on the enantiomerization rate found with the α-duryl- and α-mesityl-selenoalkyllithium compounds 7c and 7d suggest that rotation about the carbanion-selenium bond may be the rate-determining step in those sterically hindered systems. Similar steric effects were detected for the enantiomerization of the corresponding α-arylthio- and α-aryltelluroalkyllithium compounds 7j and 7f, but are absent with the α-arylsilyl-substituted alkyllithium compound 7o. This finding, along with the fact that the phenyltelluro- (7e), phenylseleno- (6), and phenylthio-alkyllithium compounds (7g) have essentially the same enantiomerization barrier, lead us to propose that in these cases a reorganization within the contact ion pair is the rate limiting step for the enantiomerization.

    Notes: Ab initio calculations showed that the two elementary steps in the racemization of the α-methylthioethyl anion (7), inversion of the pyramidal anionic center, and rotation around the C-—S bond, occur in sequence and are not concerted. The former process passes over a barrier of 1.1 kcal/mol, the latter over one of 10.9 kcal/mol. MNDO calculations on the α-phenylthioethyl anion (8) revealed a preferred conformation of the S-aryl bond, allowing maximum delocalization of the sulfur lone pairs into the π* orbital of the aryl group. This orientation is maintained during rotation around the C-—S bond and is the origin of steric hindrance in the racemization of certain α-arylthio-, α-arylseleno-, and α-aryltelluroalkyllithium compounds 1 to 6.
