Abstract

A highly enantioselective approach has been developed for synthesising chiral succinimide derivatives via asymmetric Michael addition of diketones to maleimide using dihydroquinine as a catalyst in brine. The Michael adducts were obtained in yields up to 98% and with enantiomeric excesses up to 98% ee.
