Abstract

A highly stereoselective one-pot reaction of aliphatic aldehydes and cyanoacrylamides has been developed. The one-pot reaction includes an organocatalytic Michael addition followed by an intramolecular hemiaminalization. After reduction, optically enriched 2-piperidinones with three contiguous chiral centers were obtained in up to 95% yield and 9:1 dr with 99% ee.
