Abstrakt: Reaction design in asymmetric catalysis has traditionally been predicated on a structurally robust scaffold in both substrates and catalysts, to reduce the number of possible diastereomeric transition states. Herein, we present the stereochemical dynamics in the Ni(II)-catalyzed diastereoconvergent (3 + 2) cycloadditions of isomerizable nitrile-conjugated nitrones with α-keto ester enolates. Even in the presence of multiple equilibrating species, the catalytic protocol displays a wide substrate scope to access a range of CN-containing building blocks bearing adjacent stereocenters with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Our computational investigations suggest that the enantioselectivity is governed in the deprotonation process to form ( Z )-Ni-enolates, while the unique syn addition is mainly controlled by weak noncovalent bonding interactions between the nitrone and ligand.
