Enantioconvergent iso-Pictet-Spengler reactions of chiral racemic ss-formyl esters and a ss-keto ester are reported, leading to the formation of complex tetrahydro-& gamma;-carbolines bearing two contiguous stereocenters. These reactions are catalyzed by a chiral thiourea and benzoic acid cocatalytic system, representing unusual nonhydrogenative stereoconvergent additions to racemic & alpha;-stereogenic-ss-dicarbonyls. The transformation of the products to chiral aminoalcohols and carbamates is also demonstrated.
