“…Among carbonyl derivatives, Weinreb amides have been paid special attention in organic synthesis, because they can be readily converted into ketones 12–15. For example, Weinreb amides have been successfully utilized for the asymmetric synthesis of 1,3‐aminoketals14a and α‐amino ketones 14b. Recently, several methods for the asymmetric synthesis of β‐amino Weinreb amides have been reported,15–17 which include the use of N ‐sulfinyl imine based carbonyl‐type addition and lithium ( S )‐ N ‐benzyl‐ N ‐α‐methylbenzylamide‐based α,β‐conjugate addition reactions.…”
