Popis: A new catalytic aldol-type addition of cyclopropanecarboximides to aldehydes via iodide-mediated ring-opening is presented. The reaction was found to be catalyzed at 0 degrees C using either a Sc(OTf)3/NaI system or ScI3. Stereoselective formation of alpha,alpha-disubstituted enolates occurred in situ. gamma-Lactams bearing alpha-carbonyl quaternary stereocenters were obtained in 97-57% yield and dr = 90:10-80:20 after ring closure.
