functionalized isocyanides in the aziridine aldehyde-driven multicomponent synthesis of piperazinones. High diasteroselectivity for each isocyanide was observed. A theoretical evaluation of the reaction course corroborates the experimental data. Moreover, the reactivity of cis- and trans-configured aziridine aldehyde dimers has been compared. This study further probes the dimer-driven mechanism of

Amphoteric amino aldehydes, which exist as stable dimers, participate in an aza-Michael/aldol domino reaction with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes to afford stable 1,5-aminohydroxyaldehydes in high yields and diastereoselectivies. The reaction outcome hinges upon the dimeric nature of amphoteric amino aldehydes and the orthogonality between the NH aziridine and the two aldehyde functionalities during the reaction. Through the use of reaction conditions that disfavor dimer dissociation, the aza-Michael process has been directed toward a novel 8-(enolendo)-exo-trig cyclization. The results described herein further demonstrate the potential of amphoteric molecules in reaction discovery.

The factors determining diastereoselectivity observed in the multicomponent conversion of amino acids, aziridine aldehyde dimers, and isocyanides into chiral piperazinones have been investigated. Amino acid-dependent selectivity for either trans- or cis-substituted piperazinone products has been achieved. An experimentally determined diastereoselectivity model for the three-component reaction driven by aziridine aldehyde dimers has predictive value for different substrate classes. Moreover, this model is useful in reconciling the previously reported observations in multicomponent reactions between isocyanides, alpha-amino acids, and monofunctional aldehydes.
