The C methylation of the carbohydrate‐derived O ‐chiral esters 5a‐d to derivatives 8 proceeds with ( R ) selection of 1:1 to 10:1 and depends primarily on the base used for enolate generation. Lithium 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperide (LTMP) shows the highest and lithium hexamethyldisilazanide (LHMDS) the lowest selection. These results are interpreted in terms of a “post‐enolization complex” involving the lithium amide base.
