Abstract

Abstract The efficient desymmetrization of N -(2- tert -butylphenyl)maleimides was realized by means of a Michael addition reaction of a series of carbon nucleophiles generating the corresponding axially chiral succinimides in high yields. The use of (DHQD) 2 Pyr as catalyst was fundamental to achieve the remote control of the stereogenic chiral axis with the concurrent construction of adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocenters.
