Abstract

Highly enantioselective as well as diastereoselective catalytic vinylogous Mannich reactions have been accomplished for the first time with aliphatic straight-chain aldimines and O,O-silylketene acetals and furnish valuable synthetic building blocks in high enantiomeric purity.

Enantiomeric excess was determined after hydrogenation and lactamization according to the synthesis of 9.
