Catalyzed vinylogous Mukaiyama Mannich

New Au(III)-pyridine-2-carboxylate complexes were developed to catalyze the intramolecular reaction between furan and acetylene to form phenols <04AE(G)6545>. These pre-catalysts provide higher reaction conversion than AuClj. The Lewis acid catalyzed vinylogous Mukaiyama-Mannich addition of trimethylsilyloxyfuran to aldimines, that generates 6-amino-Y-butenolide intermediates, was applied to the synthesis of piperidines...

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.
