Abstract
An asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction of glyoxamide and alkylidenemalonates has been developed. Catalyzed by a novel N-heterocyclic carbene, the Stetter adducts are formed in good yield and excellent enantioselectivity. The presence of a sensitive epimerizable stereocenter is tolerated under these mildly basic reaction conditions if a bulky amine base is used. The products may be further elaborated to provide synthetically useful intermediates.Entities:
