Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Not so Mannich now: A heterobimetallic La/Li/pybox complex was key in direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type reactions, using α-keto anilides as synthetic homoenolate equivalents to afford γ-amino amide products in up to > 99% yield, 95% ee, and >97:3 syn-selectivity. Stereoselective reduction of the α-keto moiety afforded the β-alkyl-γ-amino-α-hydroxy amide with three contiguous stereocenters (PG=protecting group).
