Control of Reactions of Pyruvates by Catalysts: Direct Enantioselective Mannich Reactions of Pyruvates Catalyzed by Amine-based Catalyst Systems.

Enantioselective Mannich reactions of pyruvates catalyzed by amine-based catalyst systems, in which pyruvates act as nucleophiles, are reported. The reactions of pyruvates and cyclic sulfonylimines afforded the desired Mannich products, including those bearing tetrasubstituted carbon centers, in high yields with high enantioselectivities in most cases. The selection of the acid used in the amine-based catalyst system was key for the formation of the Mannich products with high enantioselectivities.
