Abstract
In the presence of catalytic amounts of trialkylsilyl triflate and triethylamine, unactivated amides react with imines to afford the corresponding Mannich-type adducts in high yields with high anti selectivities. It is noteworthy that unactivated simple amides bearing α-protons that are less acidic than those of ketones and aldehydes can be successfully used in catalytic direct-type addition reactions.
