A novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed enantioselective Mannich reaction of the remote gamma-carbon of cyclopropylcarbaldehydes is reported for the first time. The dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) process enables the generation of diastereo- and enantiomerically enriched multicyclic delta-lactam compound from 8 possible stereo-specific isomers. Multiple chiral functional molecules can be obtained from the lactam products through easy protocols while retaining their optical purities.
An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed enantioselective Mannich reaction of the remote gamma-carbon of cyclopropylcarbaldehydes is disclosed for the first time. Diastereo- and enantiomerically enriched multicyclic delta-lactam compound is afforded as the main product from 8 possible stereo-specific isomers through dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) processes. Multiple chiral functional molecules can be afforded from the lactam products through simple protocols with retentions of the optical purities.
