The C 2 ‐symmetric ( R,R )‐di(α‐methoxymethylbenzyl)amine 1 , synthesized from ( R )‐phenylglycinol and α‐methoxyacetophenone, yields a lithium amide 2 upon lithiation with n BuLi. In the solid state and in solution, 2 is present as a dimer. 4‐ tert ‐Butylcyclohexanone could be asymmetrically deprotonated with this lithium amide.
