Abstract
A highly enantioselective synthesis of δ-lactams having a chiral quaternary carbon center at the α-position has been developed through an asymmetric alkylation of 3-arylpiperidin-2-ones under phase-transfer conditions. In this transformation, a 2,2-diarylvinyl group on the δ-lactam nitrogen atom plays a crucial role as a novel protecting group and an achiral auxiliary for improving both yield and enantioselectivity of the reaction.
