Kinetic evidence shows that the two groups of a δ-ketoester can interact in the transition state of a Grignard reaction.This promotes high stereoselectivity by chiral center far from the ketonic group and produces good correlations between stereoselection and electronic effects of substituents.
A CASE OF STEREOSELECTIVITY CHANGE IN GRIGNARD REACTION COMPETITION EXPERIMENTS

The stereochemical product ratio 2/3 of cis- and trans-1-methyl-2-oxabicyclo-decan-3-ones derived from methyl 3-(2-oxocyclohexyl)propanoate, 1, with MeMgI in C6H6 regularly increase in competition reactions with 4-oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, 4, as the amount of the last-mentioned compound increases.This effect is related to the total concentration of keto esters in the reaction mixture.Competition experiments were also performed in THF with MeMgCl: no drift in 2/3 ratio was observed.
