Abstract: | Enantioselective cascade reactions are very powerful synthetic protocols for the assembly of complex architectures. Our current approach is to exploit a (-)-sparteine-controlled enantioselective carbolithiation of 2-propenylarylamines to provide chiral intermediates, which depending upon choice of electrophile are subsequently in situ converted into products of increasing complexity. The chiral center, formed in high enantiomeric ratio in the first carbolithiation step, is carried through the cascade reaction sequence to the final products and is independent of electrophile used. The scope of the cascade reaction is outlined in terms of reaction conditions, alkyllithiums, and electrophiles. |
