Configurationally stable, dipole‐stabilised benzyllithium compounds ( R )‐and ( S )‐ 1 b , prepared by deprotonation of the corresponding esters with s BuLi in toluene/di‐ethyl ether (5:1), reacted with (–)‐menthyldimethyltin bromide to afford the stannanes (–)‐ 3 and ( + )‐ 4 , respectively. A single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis of compound (–)‐ 3 proved that stannylation occurred with inversion of the configuration at the benzylic centre, assuming retention for the deprotonation step. Lithio‐destannylation and deuteration with MeOD follow a retentive course.
