Abstract

The activation of α-hydroxy enones by the Zn (OTf) 2/t BuBOX catalyst enables the enantioselective conjugate addition of 1-methyleneaminopyrrolidine as a neutral d1 synthon. Experimental evidence supports a stereochemical model where a triflate ligand controls the geometry of the catalyst-substrate complex by means of a OH-OTf hydrogen bond. The synthesis of β-cyano acids illustrates the potential of the methodology.
