Stereoselectivity in the Synthesis of 5'-Alkylated Nicotines

Abstract
In the hydride reduction of enamines formed by the alkylation of cotinine (2) with organolithium reagents, the effect of some reaction conditions on the stereochemistry of the resulting 5''-alkylnicotines was studied. The acidity of the reaction medium was the main factor determining the stereochemistry of the products.
