Abstract:The possible mechanisms and origin of the selectivities of isothiourea‐catalyzed addition of saturated esters to iminium ions have been investigated by density functional theory. The favorable reaction pathway includes three stages: formation of an ammonium enolate intermediate, enantioselective addition of the ammonium enolate intermediate to the iminium ion, and dissociation of the catalyst to form the product. The enantioselective addition process is the stereoselectivity‐determining step, while the chemose… Show more
“…In 2019, this mechanism was supported by Wei and collaborators by using density functional theory. 15 Rueping and co-workers used N-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines and cyclic ketones to prepare a range of high-value Mannich products with excellent optical purities by employing a combined catalytic system containing a photoredox catalyst and a chiral primary amine organocatalyst (Scheme 11). 16 In the dual catalytic protocol, N-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines were activated by a photoredox catalyst, and ketones were activated by a chiral primary amine catalyst.…”
