Abstract

Both cyclic and acyclic silyl dienol ethers participate efficiently in the asymmetric vinylogous Mannich reaction of N-2-thienylsulfonylimines catalyzed by copper(I) complexes of Fesulphos ligands. This procedure displays wide imine and nucleophile versatility, high enantiocontrol, and complete gamma-regioselectivity in most cases examined. The mild sulfonamide deprotection allows the resulting products to be readily transformed into optically active delta-lactams or 5-hydroxy-2-piperidone derivatives.
