The preparation of a new class of tricyclic models 1 based on a Friedl?nder reaction between chiral piperidine-2,4-diones 2 and azomethine 3 is reported. Alkylation of the lactam allowed to install various pendant arms on the chiral cyclic inducer. The so-obtained mimics 1a,d,f,g,h,k were involved in the reduction of methyl benzoylformate to furnish methyl mandelate in 4-87% ee (R). The presence of a coordinating pendant arm proved to be essential to reach optimum results in terms of enantioinduction. Asymmetric reduction of 2-benzoylpyridine with mimics 1d,f,g produced α-phenyl-2-pyridinemethanol in 30-84% ee (R).
