Abstract
The catalytic Mannich reaction of α-substituted α-isocyanoacetates with ketimines has been investigated. A variety of imidazolines containing congested vicinal tetra-substituted stereocenters were obtained in excellent yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity using cinchona alkaloid amide/Ni(ii) and base catalysts.
