description

A thiourea-Brønsted base bifunctional catalyst allowed the enantioselective 1,6-aza-Michael addition of isoxazolin-5-ones to p-quinone methides to give isoxazolin-5-ones having a chiral diarylmethyl moiety attached to the N atom with fair to good yields and enantiomeric excesses. To the best of our knowledge this reaction represents the first example of enantioselective N-alkylation of isoxazolin-5-ones as well as the first example of enantioselective 1,6-aza-Michael reaction involving p-quinone methides.
