Imine ene reaction

The diastereofacial selective imine-ene reactions with a-imino esters prepared from (—)-8-phenylmenthyl glyoxylate have provided an efficient entry to the asymmetric synthesis of a-amino acids, and a Lewis acid-mediated intramolecular imine-ene reaction has been used for the key spirocyclization step in a recent synthesis of (—)-perhydrohistrionicotoxin. Asymmetric azo-ene reactions have been effected using the chiral azo-enophile, di-(—)-(lR,2S)-2-phenyl-l-cyclohexyldiazenedicarboxylate. ... 

The imine-ene reaction has been studied by DFT for the model case of methanimine, H2C=NH, and propene a wide range of catalyses by Lewis acids are covered. ...
