Abstract

A Cu(II)/RuPHOX-catalyzed enantioselective Mannich-type reaction of glycine Schiff bases with cyclic ketimines was developed, affording chiral α,ß-diamino acid derivatives in good yields with moderate to good ee and dr values. This provides an efficient methodology for furnishing chiral Cβ-tetrasubstituted α,β-diamino acid precursors. The catalytic system is compatible with a series of substrates. In addition, an interesting nonlinear effect of the catalyst's enantiomeric composition on reaction enantioselectivity was observed. (Figure presented.).
