Abstract

A highly stereoselective one-pot intramolecular Mannich reaction using 2-oxopropyl-2-formylbenzoates and anilines as substrates, catalyzed by a secondary amine, provides 4-aminoisochromanones bearing two adjacent stereocentres in good yields with excellent cis-stereoselectivities and ee values.
