Abstract

Catalytic enantioselective Mannich reactions of simple nonactivated esters proceeded using a chiral potassium strong base catalyst prepared from a chiral bisoxazoline and potassium hexamethyldisilazide. Alkyl acetates, alkyl propionates, and an alkyl butyrate were employed as the simple esters, and the desired reactions proceeded smoothly to afford Mannich products in good to high yields with high enantioselectivities. One of the products was successfully employed in the asymmetric total synthesis of Maraviroc.
