Model calculations of primary and secondary deuterium isotope effects for the hydroxide-induced deprotonation of 2-nitropropane are reported. Various transition-state models have been examined in an effort to reproduce experimental results. A purely pyramidal transition state in which proton transfer has run far ahead of carbon rehybridization and charge delocalization is a successful model as far as isotope effects are concerned, but may fail on other counts. Three incipient trigonal models for the transition state have been tested, and, although none can be firmly eliminated by the resultant isotope effects, those involving the proton transfer's running ahead of electron delocalization and perhaps carbon rehybridization are favoured.

The reaction of lithium dienolates derived from N,N-dialkylsenecioamides (1a–1c) with triorganosilyl electrophiles occurs initially at the oxygen atom predominantly, and is followed by an O → C silicon migration to afford the γ-silylated senecioamides (4a–4h). The γ-silylated senecioamide Z-4a undergoes fluoride-ion-mediated condensations with aromatic aldehydes to give kinetic α-(6) and thermodynamic γ-(5) condensation product patterns comparable to lithium dienolates. The TiCl4-mediated reactions with aldehydes gives α-products (6) in a highly syn-selective manner. Possible transition-state models for the syn-selective condensations are discussed and a chair-like transition state featuring bidentate coordination to titanium (11) is proposed.
