Three chiral cyclic secondary amines are shown to be catalysts for the direct asymmetric Mannich-type reaction of acetone with a variety of preformed aldimines derived from o-anisidine. A simple one-pot three-component reaction procedure consisting of aldehyde, acetone, p-anisidine and an amine catalyst provides the corresponding β-amino ketones with 50-89% ee under very mild conditions.
A single-step enantioselective synthesis of the Wieland-Miescher ketone (5) is presented. We show that l-proline as well as a number of other chiral amines can act as catalysts of both steps of the Robinson annulation reaction. Other chiral amines are identified as catalysts of Michael and aldol addition reactions.
