Chiral Cinchona Alkaloid-Thiourea Catalyzed Mannich Reaction for Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Amino Ketones Bearing Benzothiazol Moiety

摘要

Mannich reactions of imine with acetylacetone were effectively catalyzed by the modified chiral cinchona alka-loid-derived thiourea. The reactions led to chiral r-amino carbonyl compounds in high yields and good enantiose-lectivities. The study demonstrated for the first time that Mannich reactions of unmodified acetylacetone with het-erocyclic imine derived from benzothiazole can be promoted by chiral bifunctional organocatalyst.
