Abstract

Asymmetric calcium-catalyzed direct Mannich reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with imines have been developed. The reactions proceed under mild conditions and provide the corresponding products with high enantiomeric excess.

Key words

Mannich reaction - organocatalysis - calcium - BINOL phosphoric acid - amino acid

General Procedure for Direct Mannich Reaction: In a typical experiment pyrone 2 or 1,3-cyclohexadione (5; 1.0 equiv), aldimine 3 (1.5 equiv), and the calcium catalyst (5 mol%) were suspended in Bu₂O in a screw-capped vial and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at -40 ˚C for 60-72 h. Purification of the crude product by column chromatography on silica gel afforded the corresponding product 4 or 6.
