Abstract
The desymmetrization of N-(2-tert-butylphenyl)maleimides was realized by means of a Michael reaction of N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-phenyloxindoles leading to the corresponding axially chiral succinimides in high yields. The use of a squaramide cinchonidine organocatalyst was fundamental to achieve the simultaneous remote control of the stereogenic axis and adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocenters.
