Abstract

Li(I) BINOLate salts as Lewis acid-Brønsted base catalysts offer high catalytic activity toward 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds such as diketone, ketoester, ketothioester, ketoamide, and ketolactone. Mannich-type reaction of aldimines with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds proceeded at -78 °C within 1-2 h in the presence of 1−10 mol % catalyst highly enantio- and diastereoselectively.
