Organocatalytic enantioselective Mannich reaction of isoxazol-5(4 H)-ones to isatin-derived ketimines

Org Biomol Chem. 2022 Nov 9;20(43):8395-8399. doi: 10.1039/d2ob01692c.

Abstract

An efficient organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction between isoxazol-5(4H)-ones and isatin-derived ketimines has been developed. A bifunctional squaramide/Brønsted base organocatalyst catalyzed the enantioselective Mannich addition to afford chiral 3-aminooxindoles bearing a tetrasubstituted stereocenter at C3 decorated with an isoxazole moiety in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. Additionally, several synthetic transformations were described showing the versatility of the prepared compounds.
