Bronsted acid catalyzed vinylogous Mannich reaction

Table 5.6 Bronsted acid catalyzed vinylogous Mannich reaction of vinylketene N,O acetal 36 according to Schneider and coworkers [14b].

The catalytic, enantioselective, vinylogous Mannich reaction has recently emerged as a very powerful tool in organic synthesis for the assembly of highly functionalized and optically enriched 6 amino carbonyl compounds. Two distinctly different strategies have been developed. The first approach calls for the reaction of preformed silyl dienolates as latent metal dienolates that react in a chiral Lewis acid or Bronsted acid catalyzed Mukaiyama type reaction with imines. Alternatively, unmodified CH acidic substrates such as a,a dicyanoalkenes or 7 butenolides were used in vinylo gous Mannich reactions that upon deprotonation with a basic residue in the catalytic system generate chiral dienolates in situ. 

The vinylogous Mannich reaction of 2 silyloxy furans and imines may also be catalyzed through chiral Brpnsted acids, as shown by Akiyama et al. [10]. Previously, Akiyama [11] and Terada [12] had independently discovered that 3,3 substituted BINOL based phosphoric acids were excellent Bronsted acids for a broad range of mainly imine addition reactions via protonation of the imines and in situ formation of chiral iminium contact ion pairs. Using the slightly modified phosphoric acid 28 as catalyst carrying additional iodine substituents in the 6,6 positions, the y amino substituted butenolides 27 were obtained in excellent enantioselectivity and variable diastereoselectivity (Table 5.4).
