The mechanisms of the α-, β- and γ-functionalisations aldehydes α,β-unsaturated by secondary amines are presented discussed.
Phosphines go one-pot: The one-pot synthesis of cyclic α-amino esters from azlactones and allenes by a phosphine-catalyzed [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction followed ring opening the azlactone moiety is presented. products are isolated as single regioisomers in good overall yields high enantioselectivities (up to 95 % ee). possibility for easy modifications obtained was demonstrated synthesizing an amino acid α-hydroxy-β-ketoester. Phosphine-catalyzed reactions electron-deficient alkynes with...
