A simple and convenient method for the direct, aminocatalytic, and highly enantioselective Mannich reactions of aldehydes with in situ generated N-carbamoyl imines has been developed. Both α-imino esters and aromatic imines serve as suitable electrophilic components. Moreover, the judicious selection of commercially available secondary amine catalysts allows selective access to the desired stereoisomer of the N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) or N-carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) Mannich adducts, with high control over the syn or anti relative configura-tion and almost perfect enantioselectivity. Besides the possibility to fully control the stereochemistry of the Mannich reaction, the main advantage of this method lies in the operational simplicity; the highly reactive N-carbamate-protected imines are generated in situ from stable and easily handled aamido sulfones. 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
