Highly diastereoselective lithiation–substitution reactions of an ( S )‐proline derived S‐alkyl thiocarbamate was accomplished. The configuration of the predominant alkyllithium species and the stereochemical course of the electrophilic substitution reactions are deduced by a combination of X‐ray crystal structure analysis, NMR spectroscopic studies, deuteration/dedeuteration experiments, and quantum chemical calculations. The lithium intermediate ( S , S )‐ 9 was found to be kinetically and thermodynamically favoured, whereas ( S , R )‐ 9 rapidly epimerizes.
