Abstract
An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed enantioselective Mannich reaction of the remote γ-carbon of cyclopropylcarbaldehydes is disclosed for the first time. Diastereo- and enantiomerically enriched multicyclic δ-lactam compound is afforded as the main product from 8 possible stereo-specific isomers through dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) processes. Multiple chiral functional molecules can be afforded from the lactam products through simple protocols with retentions of the optical purities. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
