Popis: A direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type reaction of isomerizable aliphatic imines is described. A Et2Zn/(S,S)-linked-BINOL complex was suitable for chemoselective enolate formation from a hydroxyketone in the presence of isomerizable aliphatic N-diphenylphosphinoyl imines. The reaction proceeds smoothly and β-alkyl-β-amino-α-hydroxyketones were obtained in good yield and high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee), albeit in modest to low diastereoselectivity.
