description

The asymmetric conjugate addition of malonate esters to α,β-unsaturated N-sulfonyl imines is catalyzed by PyBOX/La(OTf)3 complexes in the presence of 4 Å MS. The reaction gives the corresponding E enamines bearing a stereogenic center at the allylic position with good yields and enantiomeric ratios up to 97:3. This reaction provides a synthetic entry to chiral δ-aminoesters and piperidones.
