Homoallylicamines are important synthetic targets in organic synthesis. Compared to other conventional allylation reactions using pre-functionalized allylic compounds, the allylation of imines usi...
The potential of β‐alkoxy α‐keto amides as pronucleophiles in the enantioselective Mannich type reaction with p‐nosyl imines is presented. The proper combination of β‐alkoxy α‐keto amides and a squaramide‐based Brønsted basecatalyst produced highly enantioenriched Mannich adducts, which may be transformed into functionalized amino diols.
