Popis: The enantioselective Michael addition reaction of α-aryl-substituted lactams with electron-deficient olefins was efficiently catalyzed using chiral quaternary ammonium salts derived from cinchona alkaloids. This method was highly useful for the construction of an all-carbon-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic center at the α-position of lactams in good to high yields and with good enantiomeric excess and could be applied to the short synthesis of (+)-mesembrine.
