Abstract

The effect of the solvent on the diastereoselectivity of the Joullié-Ugi three-component reaction (JU-3CR) using an α-substituted five-membered cyclic imine is revisited. The cis and trans isomers were generated in toluene and HFIP, respectively. Hammett analysis of the JU-3CR suggests the presence of two reaction mechanisms.
