Mannich silyl ketene acetals

Entry 6 is analogous to a silyl ketene acetal rearrangement. The reactant in this case is an imide. Entry 7 is an example of PdCl2-catalyzed imidate rearrangement. Entry 8 is an example of an azonia-Cope rearrangement, with the monocylic intermediate then undergoing an intramolecular Mannich condensation. (See Section 2.2.1 for a discussion of the Mannich reaction). Entry 9 shows a thioimidate rearrangement. 

Related catalytic enantioseiective processes Representative examples of other catalytic asymmetric Mannich additions are depicted in Scheme 6.31. In 1997, Tomioka demonstrated a Li-catalyzed synthesis of functionalized p-lactams that proceeds through a catalytic enantioseiective Mannich reaction (promoted by 103) [95], and a year later Lectka and his team published a series of reports concerning additions of silyl ketene acetals... 

Interestingly, fundamentally different stereoinduction mechanisms have been proposed for the activation of a number of related imine substrates, studies that resulted in the development of simple and highly effective new catalytic systems (27) for the addition of silyl ketene acetals to Al-Boc-protected aldimines (Mannich reaction) (Scheme 11.12c). ... 

The Akiyama group tested various BINOL phosphates 3 as catalysts for the indirect Mannich reaction of aldimines 8 derived from 2-aminophenol with silyl ketene acetals 9 (Scheme 4). All of these Brpnsted acids furnished P-amino ester 10a in (nearly) quantitative yields. Both the reaction rates (4-46 h) and the enantioselectivities (27-87% ee) were strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents at the 3,3 -positions.

Three years after the discovery of the asymmetric BINOL phosphate-catalyzed Mannich reactions of silyl ketene acetals or acetyl acetone, the Gong group extended these transformations to the use of simple ketones as nucleophiles (Scheme 25) [44], Aldehydes 40 reacted with aniline (66) and ketones 67 or 68 in the presence of chiral phosphoric acids (R)-3c, (/ )-14b, or (/ )-14c (0.5-5 mol%, R = Ph, 4-Cl-CgH ) to give P-amino carbonyl compounds 69 or 70 in good yields (42 to >99%), flnfi-diastereoselectivities (3 1-49 1), and enantioselectivities (72-98% ee).

Asymmetric Mannich-type reactions provide useful routes for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched P-amino ketones or esters [48a, 48b]. For the most part, these methods involve the use of chirally modified enolates or imines. Only a handful of examples has been reported on the reaction of imines with enolates of carboxylic acid derivatives or silyl ketene acetals in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of a chiral controller [49a, 49b, 49c]. Reports describing the use of a substoichiometric amount of the chiral agent are even more scarce. This section contains some of the most recent advances in the field of catalytic enantioselective additions of lithium enolates and silyl enol ethers of esters and ketones to imines. 

The Mannich reaction has been reviewed comprehensively by Blicke (1942), Reichert (1959), Hell-mann and Opitz (1960), and Tramontini (1973). These reviews also include synthetic applications of Mannich bases. Mechanistic studies of the Mannich reaction have been reviewed by Thompson (1968). Some variants of the Mannich reaction have been covered as subtopics in other reviews for example. Layer (1963) and Harada (1970) have reviewed general additions of stabilized carbanions to imines, while Bdhme and Haake (1976) have reviewed similar additions to methyleneiminium salts. In more specific reviews, Pai and coworkers (1984) have summarized stabilized carbanion additions to 3,4-dihy-droisoquinolines and 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinium salts in connection with the total synthesis of protober-berines and phthalide isoquinolines, and Evans et al. (1982) " have analyzed the stereochemical aspects of ester enolate and silyl ketene acetal additions to imines. 

Acylhydrazones, R CH=N-NHCOR , undergo stereoselective Mannich reactions with silyl ketene acetals to give j8-hydrazido esters, using activation by a chiral silicon Lewis acid. Alternatively, the use of silyl ketene imine gives a /3-hydrazido nitrile. Enantioselective (5)-l-amino-2-methoxymethylpyrrolidine (SAMP) hydrazone alkylation of aldehydes and ketones is the subject of a computational study, providing a useful screening method for possible new candidates.
