TL;DR

The moderate nucleophilicity of the axially chiral amino sulfonamide (S)-1 suppresses the problematic side reactions, including aldol reactions, in the asymmetric Mannich reaction of N-Boc-protected imines with aldehydes.

Abstract

Abstract The moderate nucleophilicity of the axially chiral amino sulfonamide ( S )‐ 1 suppresses the problematic side reactions, including aldol reactions, in the asymmetric Mannich reaction of N‐Boc‐protected imines with aldehydes. The corresponding adducts are obtained in good yield and excellent stereoselectivity (see scheme; Boc= tert ‐butoxycarbonyl, Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl). magnified image
