Both (3R,5R)-5-methyl-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid and (R)-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid efficiently catalyzed the reactions of aldehydes with R-imino esters under mild conditions and afforded anti-Mannich products with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (anti/syn up to 99:1, up to >99% ee). For the reactions of ketones with R-imino esters, (R)-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid was an efficient catalyst (anti/syn up to >99:1, up to 99% ee). Evaluation of a series of pyrrolidine-based catalysts indicated that the acid group at the β-position of the pyrrolidine ring of the catalyst played an important role in forwarding the carboncarbon bond formation and in directing anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity. Introduction Mannich and Mannich-type reactions are important carboncarbon bond-forming reactions for the synthesis of amino acids, amino alcohols, amino carbonyls, and their derivatives that contain two adjacent stereocenters; accordingly there is a demand for the direct catalytic reactions that afford syn- or antiMannich products with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.1-5 Because reactions that use unmodified carbonyl compounds as nucleophile sources are more atom economical than those that use preactivated carbonyl compounds, such as silyl enol ethers or preformed enamines, development of the reactions that use unmodified carbonyl compounds has been of interest. syn- or anti-Selective Mannich-type reactions of unmodified carbonyl † § The Scripps Research Institute.

Proline and related amine-based enamine catalysis have been used for enantioselective Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes and ketones including simple alkylaldehydes and alkanones, in which in situ-formed enamine intermediates act as nucleophiles. When proline and related pyrrolidine derivatives that possess acidic groups at the R-position of pyrrolidine are used as catalysts for these Mannich-type reactions, typically syn-isomers are obtained as the major products.3 Development of enamine-based Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes and of ketones that afford anti-products with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities is a current challenge.4,5 Since Mannich-type reactions with R-imino esters are especially useful for syntheses of a variety of amino acid derivatives (Scheme 1),1a-c,2g,3a-g,j-l,q,r-t development of anti-Mannich-type reactions with R-imino esters is considerably important.4,5a-c We have recently reported in communications that pyrrolidine derivatives (3R,5R)-5-methyl-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid and (R)-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid catalyze anti-Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes4a and of ketones,4b respectively.

There are two main possiblities for the predominant contribution of conformation A over B in the C-C bond-forming transition state. One is position matching between the nucleophilic carbon of the enamine and the electrophilic carbon of the imine in A: When the imine is protonated by the carboxylic acid, the enamine nucleophilic carbon of conformation A is positioned within a suitable reaction distance from the electrophilic carbon of the imine. The position of the enamine nucleophilic carbon of conformation B, however, (4) (a) Mitsumori, S.; Zhang, H.; Cheong, P. H.-Y.; Houk, K. N.; Tanaka, F.; Barbas, C. F., III. J. Am. Chem.

Lett. 2003, 5, 1249. anti-Mannich-Type Reactions Chart 1 is not correctly positioned near the electrophilic carbon of the imine for bond formation under the proton transfer from the carboxylic acid to the imine. The other possibility is that conformation B has unfavorable steric interactions between the carboxylic acid and the enamine, and thus conformation A, which does not have such unfavorable interactions, predominates over conformation B. Although computational analysis of the transition state of the C-C bond-forming step suggests transition state C,6 it has not been clearly explained why enamine conformation A is used more favorably than conformation B in the C-C bond-forming step. Therefore, in the design of catalysts of anti-selective Mannich-type reactions, we considered both possibilities. To alter the selectivity from syn to anti, the reaction face of the enamine or imine must be reversed from that of the prolinecatalyzed reactions. Since the 2-carboxylic acid of proline controls both enamine conformation and reaction faces of the enamine and the imine, we reasoned that separation of the steric and the acid roles of this group into two groups and placing of the groups at appropriate positions on a pyrrolidine ring should result anti-selectivity. We reasoned that a pyrrolidine derivative bearing substituents at 2- and 4-positions (or at 3- and 5-positions) should afford anti-products in the Mannich-type reactions: The acid group at the 3-position of pyrrolidine can be any acid functional group that engages the proton transfer to the imine in the transition state and the substituent at 5-position can be any functional group that cannot initiate proton transfer. Based on these considerations, we designed (3R,5R)5-methyl-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid (1) (Chart 1) as an antiselective catalyst for the Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes (Scheme 2b). We hypothesized that the 5-methyl group of catalyst 1 controlled the enamine conformation to be present as s-trans conformation D rather than s-cis conformation E because of unfavorable steric interactions between the 5-methyl group and the enamine in conformation E. We reasoned that the 3-carboxylic acid of catalyst 1 should control the reaction faces of the enamine and the imine through the proton transfer from the carboxylic acid to the imine nitrogen. The proton transfer from the carboxylic acid to the imine nitrogen should also accelerate the reaction by increasing the imine electrophilicity. The 3-carboxylic acid and the 5-methyl group should be ARTICLES trans to avoid steric interactions between the 5-methyl group of catalyst 1 and the imine in the C-C bond-forming transition state. The trans-relationship between the 3-carboxylic acid and 5-methyl group should also block the approach of the imine to the enamine from the undesired reaction face. Thus, catalyst 1 should catalyze the Mannich-type reactions via transition state F that use s-trans-enamine conformation D of the (E)-enamine intermediate (Scheme 2b). In this transition state, si-face of the enamine reacts with the si-face of the imine. As we have preliminary reported4a and further describe below, amino acid 1 is an excellent catalyst for the anti-selective Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes and the product stereochemistry of the 1-catalyzed reaction accords with the C-C bond formation through transition state F. The acid group at the 3-position of 1 can be any functional group that engages the proton transfer to the imine in the transition state. The tetrazole derivative of (S)-proline, (S)-5pyrrolidine-2-yl-1H-tetrazole, has been used as an efficient catalyst for Mannich reactions that can be catalyzed by proline, and the reactions catalyzed by this catalyst affords Mannich products with stereoselectivities similar to that obtained from proline catalysis;3r therefore, we reasoned that ent-2 (Chart 1) should also be an excellent anti-Mannich catalyst. The 5-methyl group of catalysts 1 and ent-2 can be altered upon the degrees of its contribution to the stereoselectivities of the reactions. To determine the contribution of the carboxylic acid at the 3-position and of the methyl group at the 5-position of 1 to directing the stereochemical outcome of the reaction, we reasoned to evaluate (2S,3R)-2-methyl-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid (3), which has a methyl group at the 2-position on the pyrrolidine, the unmethylated derivative (R)-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid (4), and the pyrrolidine derivative without 3-carboxylic acid, (R)-2-methylpyrrolidine (5). If the acid group at the 3-position is the group that predominantly directs the stereochemical outcome, the use of unmethylated derivative 4 should also afford anti-products with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Because catalyst 4 is more readily accessed than catalyst 1, this catalyst would be useful for anti-selective Mannich-type reactions if this catalyst provide reactivities and selectivities similar to catalyst 1. As described below, reactions of many aldehyde nucleophiles catalyzed by 4 afforded antiMannich products with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. With catalyst 4, both enamine conformations G and H may be similarly present; that is, conformations G and H may have similar free energies (Scheme 2c). However, only conformation G should advance the C-C bond formation through transition state I (Scheme 2c). The nucleophilic carbon of enamine G should be properly positioned for the reaction with the electrophilic carbon of the imine, whereas the nucleophilic carbon of enamine H should be too far from the imine electrophilic carbon to form a bond. Catalysts 1-14 were evaluated in the Mannich-type reaction of isovaleraldehyde and N-PMP-protected ethyl glyoxylate imine (Table 1). The reaction catalyzed by (3R,5R)-5-methyl-3pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid (1) afforded (2S,3R)-anti-157 in a good yield with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (7) Determination of the absolute stereochemistry of 15 generated by the 1-catalyzed reaction has been reported in our communication (ref 4a).

The ee of syn-15 is indicated in parenthesis. e When catalyst 0.05 equiv was used, no product formation was detected on TLC after 3 h. f Taken from ref 4d. (anti/syn 98:2, 99% ee, entry 1).8 The reaction using tetrazole derivative ent-2 afforded the corresponding product enantiomer, (2R,3S)-anti-15, with the same degree of diastereo- and enantioselectivities as the reaction using catalyst 1. Catalysts 1 and ent-2 showed essentially the same level of catalytic efficiency. Reactions catalyzed by 1- and by ent-2 were approximately 2to 3-fold faster than the corresponding proline-catalyzed reaction that afforded the syn-product. These results indicate that the tetrazole group at the 3-position of catalyst ent-2 functions as efficiently as the carboxylic acid at the 3-position of catalyst 1. Although the reaction catalyzed by 3, which has a methyl group at the 2-position on the pyrrolidine, was slightly slower than the reaction catalyzed by 1, there was not a significant difference in rates of the reactions (entry 3 versus entry 1). The reaction catalyzed by 3 afforded the same anti-product (2S,3R)15 as that by catalyst 1 with the same degree of diastereoselectivity and slightly lower enantioselectivity (91% ee, entry 3) compared to the reaction catalyzed by 1 (99% ee, entry 1). These results suggest that both s-trans and s-cis-enamine conformations are present in the reaction catalyzed by 3 and that the C-C bond formation is controlled by proton transfer from the 3-carboxylic acid group to the imine (Scheme 2d). Regardless of the position of the methyl group of the catalysts, either at the 5-position or at the 2-position, the reaction faces of the enamine and the imine were the same in the formation of the major product. These results indicate that a methyl group at either the 5-position or the 2-position of the pyrrolidine ring of the catalyst does not significantly effect the enamine conforma(8) To obtain the Mannich products generated from the reactions of aldehyde nucleophiles in an excellent dr, quick and careful workup and purification procedures were required. For example, the dr values of the products slightly (up to 4% variation) changed during silica gel flash column chromatography. Diastereomers of 15 were inseparable by typical silica gel flash column chromatography (see Supporting Information). 878 J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 9 VOL. 130, NO. 3, 2008 tion. Although the 5-methyl group of catalyst 1 contributes to afford almost perfect anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity in the 1-catalyzed reaction, no significant steric interaction is present between the enamine moiety and the methyl group at either the 5-position or the 2-position. On the other hand, the results indicate that the 3-acid group of the catalysts plays an important role in directing the stereochemical outcome. Significant contribution of the 3-acid group on the pyrrolidine ring of the catalysts in the stereocontrol of the reaction was also supported from results of the reaction catalyzed by unmethylated catalyst (R)-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid (4). The reaction with catalyst 4 afforded the same anti-product (2S,3R)-15 as did the reaction with 1, and the enantiomeric excess of the anti-product (2S,3R)-15 obtained using catalyst 4 was only slightly lower (94% ee, entry 4) than that with catalyst 1. The major product obtained from the 4-catalyzed reaction was in accord with a mechanism of C-C bond formation through transition state I (Scheme 2c). The 3-acid group was essential not only for directing the product stereochemistry, but also for reaction progress: The reaction using (S)-2-methylpyrrolidine (ent-5), which lacked an acid group, did not afford the Mannich product after 3 h when 0.05 equiv (i.e., 5 mol %) of catalyst to the imine was used. Note that the reaction with 5 mol % of either 1 or ent-2 afforded the anti-Mannich product in a good yield within a few hours. Reaction with a higher loading of ent-5 (0.2 equiv) afforded the Mannich product, but the diastereo- and enantioselectivities were moderate (entry 6). The low yield of the reaction with ent-5 was not improved by longer reaction time: A longer reaction time resulted in decomposition of the imine and Mannich product and formation of byproducts. Addition of acid (equivalent to the catalyst), such as CF3CO2H, methyltetrazole (6), or cyclopentanecarboxylic acid (7), to the ent-5-catalyzed anti-Mannich-Type Reactions Scheme 3 reaction did not meaningfully enhance the reaction rate; the diastereo- and enantioselectivities of the reactions with these acids were also moderate (entries 7-9). Reaction catalyzed by cyclopentanecarboxylic acid (7) or by pyrrolidine also afforded the anti-product as the major isomer (entries 10 and 11, respectively). Since enantioselectivity was observed (although low) in the ent-5-catalyzed reactions, the 2-methyl group plays some role in the stereocontrol. The stereodirecting effect of the 2-methyl group of ent-5 was in accord with that of the 3-acid group of catalyst 4. A pyrrolidine derivative with a bulky 2-substituent has been demonstrated as an anti-selective catalyst in Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes,5b but catalyst ent-5, pyrrolidine with a 2-methyl group alone, did not provide high levels of stereocontrolling effects. These results indicate that the 3-acid group of 1 plays a significant role in directing the stereochemistry and in efficient reaction progress through proton transfer to the imine intramolecularly. The 5-methyl group of catalyst 1 cooperates with the stereodirecting effect of the 3-acid group to provide perfect anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity. The anti-product can be generated by isomerization of the syn-product at the R-position of the aldehyde group (the 3-position of 15). To test whether the isomerization of the product occurs under the Mannich-type reaction conditions, synrich 15 generated by the (S)-proline-catalyzed reaction was treated with catalysts. First, syn-rich 15 was treated with pyrrolidine under conditions similar to the catalyzed reactions in Table 1, entry 11, and the ratios of the diastereomers and enantiomers were analyzed. After 1 day, the anti-isomer became the major isomer (anti/syn ) 1.6:1) as shown in Scheme 3; (2S,3S)-syn-15 was converted to (2S,3R)-anti-15 in the presence of pyrrolidine. Pyrrolidine isomerized the Mannich products either through enamine formation with the product and/or by acting as a base for enolization. This result indicates that the anti-isomer is more thermodynamically stable than the synisomer. The anti-isomer was also more thermodynamically favored in imidazole isomerization:4a,9 In the presence of imidazole, the isomerization rate of 15 from syn to anti was faster than that from anti to syn. The ratio of the diastereomers obtained from the pyrrolidine-catalyzed reaction that afforded the anti-isomer as the major product may reflect the consequences of isomerization; the pyrrolidine-catalyzed reaction may not form the anti-product by kinetic control in the C-C bondforming step. Next, isomerization of syn-15 to anti-15 in the presence of pyrrolidine, ent-5, or 4 in CDCl3 or in DMSO-d6 was analyzed by 1H NMR (Table 2). The isomerization rate with ent-5, which possesses 2-methyl group, was slower than that with pyrrolidine but the anti-isomer became the major isomer after 1 day. (9) Ward, D. E.; Sales, M.; Sasmal, P. J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 4808. ARTICLES Table 2.

Diastereomeric ratio of 15 obtained from the ent-5-catalyzed reaction may also reflect the result of isomerization of the kinetically formed product. On the other hand, isomerization with 4, which possesses 3-carboxylic acid, was significantly slower than that with pyrrolidine or with ent-5. Isomerization with 4 was negligible over the time range of the 4-catalyzed Mannich-type reaction. The negligible isomerization of the Mannich product in the presence of 4 also supports that the anti-selectivity of the 1- or 4-catalyzed reaction is the result of the kinetic control at the C-C bond-forming step. In the isomerization with pyrrolidine or with ent-5, basic environs may contribute to acceleration of the isomerization rates. To further understand the contribution of the 3-acid group of the catalysts, 3-substituted pyrrolidines, including ent-8 and 9, 3-hydroxypyrrolidine (10), and 3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid methyl ester (11), were also evaluated. The sulfonamide group that is present in catalysts ent-8 and 9 has been used as an acid functionality in the enamine-based catalysts for Mannich reactions.3t,5a,c Catalysts ent-8 and 9 (entries 12 and 13) had catalytic activity similar to 1, 2, 3, and 4, indicating that the sulfonamide group is also a good acid for catalysis in the antiselective Mannich-type reaction. Since the anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity varied depending on the catalyst, the results also indicate that the distance and orientation between the 3-acid group of a catalyst, enamine nucleophilic carbon, and imine electrophilic carbon in the transition state affect to the antiselectivity and enantioselectivity. 3-Hydroxypyrrolidine (10) was not a good catalyst (entry 14), indicating that hydroxyl group at the 3-position was not an efficient acid for this reaction. Reaction with methyl ester 11 was slow (entry 15), also supporting the importance of the acid group on pyrrolidine for catalysis. Reaction catalyzed by 3-piperidinecarboxylic acid (12), a sixmembered ring catalyst, was slow and afforded the product with moderate anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity (entry 16), indicating the importance of the five-membered pyrrolidine ring structure for efficient catalysis and high selectivity. We previously reported the (S)-pipecolic acid (13)-catalyzed reaction that afforded both anti- and syn-isomers (2S,3R)-15 and (2S,3S)-15 (anti/syn 1:1.4) with high enantioselectivities (entry 17).4d Computational analysis of the transition states of the C-C bond formation step of the 13-catalyzed reaction suggested that the both s-cis- and s-trans-enamines were similarly used for the J.

C-C bond formation in the 13-catalyzed reaction and that thus both syn and anti products formed.4d Reaction catalyzed by 2-azetidinecarboxylic acid (14), a four-membered ring catalyst, afforded syn-products as the major product. Stereoselectivity of the product depended on the ring size of the amine catalyst and on the position of the acid. The results of the catalyst evaluation indicate that the acid group at the 3-position of catalyst 1 plays a dominant role in forwarding reaction (efficient catalysis) and in directing stereochemistry through proton transfer to the imine. The 5-methyl group of catalyst 1 cooperatively contributes to the stereocontrolling effect of the 3-acid group to provide anti-products with excellent enantioselectivity as almost single enantiomer. The 5-methyl group of catalyst 1 has little effect on controlling the enamine conformation: There is no significant steric role of R-methyl group on pyrrolidine to control enamine conformation. The (E)-enamine of 1 (or 4) is present as either s-trans D or s-cis E (or s-trans G or s-cis H), but only D (or G) advances to the C-C bond formation through F (or I). The preference of conformation D over E in the transition state of the C-C bond-forming step originates mainly from the proton transfer from the 3-acid group to the imine. Proper positioning of the enamine and the imine for efficient catalytic activity, high antiselectivity, and high enantioselectivity is achieved by the proton transfer from the 3-carboxylic acid to the imine nitrogen. Of the catalysts evaluated, catalysts 1 and ent-2 were the most efficient catalysts for the anti-Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes with respect to the catalytic efficiency, anti-selectivity, and enantiostereoselectivity. When accessibility of catalysts was also considered, 4 had advantages. Therefore, catalysts 1 and 4 were further studied for the anti-Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes. Design and Evaluation of Catalysts for anti-Mannich-Type Reactions of Ketones. Compared to the reactions of aldehydes, the reactions of ketones require additional consideration of steric interactions in formation of enamine intermediates. Although amino acid 1 was an excellent anti-selective catalyst for the Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes, the reaction of 3-pentanone in the presence of catalyst 1 was very slow (Table 3, entry 1). Whereas the R-methyl group on pyrrolidine did not hinder the formation of enamine intermediates with aldehydes, we reasoned that the low efficiency of catalyst 1 in the 880 J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 9 VOL. 130, NO. 3, 2008 ketone reaction originated from relatively slow formation of the enamine intermediates due to steric interactions with the methyl group of the catalyst (Scheme 4a). We reasoned that unmethylated catalyst 4 should afford anti-Mannich products in the ketone reactions. Although enamine conformations J and K may have similar free energies, only J should advance to the C-C bond formation via transition state L (Scheme 4b). When proton transfer occurs from the acid at the 3-position of the catalyst to the imine nitrogen, the nucleophilic carbon of enamine J should be properly positioned to react with the imine, whereas the nucleophilic carbon of enamine K should be too far from the imine electrophilic carbon to form a bond. Since 4 does not have an R-substituent on the pyrrolidine, neither enamine J nor K has a disfavored steric interaction like the one shown in Scheme 4a and enamine formation of ketones with 4 should be faster than that with 1. In fact, the reaction catalyzed by 4 was significantly faster than the 1-catalyzed reaction and afforded anti-Mannich product (2S,3R)-1610 in good yield with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (entry 2, anti/syn 94:6, anti 97% ee). Catalyst ent-8, which possesses a sulfonamide group, also catalyzed the formation of the anti-product (entry 3), but the reaction catalyzed by 4 was faster and showed higher enantioselectivity than the ent-8-catalyzed reaction. Catalyst 9, which also has a sulfonamide group, catalyzed the reaction more efficiently than ent-8 did, and the ee of the product anti-16 obtained from the 9-catalyzed reaction was excellent (entry 4). These results indicate that the acid functionality at the 3-position on the pyrrolidine ring plays an important role in directing stereochemistry in the reactions of ketones as it did in the reactions of aldehydes. The acid group contributes to proper positioning of the imine for efficient catalytic activity and high antiselectivity and enantioselectivity. Because catalyst 4 afforded the best results with respect to anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity, this catalyst was further investigated for the antiMannich-type reactions of ketones. Mannich-Type Reactions of Aldehyde Donors Catalyzed by 1. Solvents were evaluated for the 1-catalyzed Mannich reaction to afford (2S,3R)-anti-15 in a good yield with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities in a short reaction time (Table (10) Determination of the absolute stereochemistry of 16 generated by the 4-catalyzed reaction has been reported in our communication (ref 4b). anti-Mannich-Type Reactions ARTICLES Table 4.

The reaction in DMSO provided the best anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity among those solvents tested (entry 1). Reactions in DMF, CH3CN, EtOAc, and dioxane were as efficient with respect to reaction rate as that in DMSO and afforded high anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity (anti/syn 94:6-97:3, 9597% ee, entries 2-5). Although ionic liquids were good solvents for the proline-catalyzed Mannich reaction affording syn-15,3d the 1-catalyzed reaction in ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 (bmim ) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) was slow (entry 9). The scope of the 1-catalyzed Mannich-type reaction with ethyl glyoxylate imine was examined using a series of aldehydes (Table 5). The reactions catalyzed by 1 afforded a series of antiMannich products (2S,3R)-15 and (2S,3R)-17-21 with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (anti/syn 94:6-99:1, anti >97->99% ee).8 With 5 mol % catalyst loading, the reaction rates with catalyst 1 were approximately 2- to 3-fold faster than the corresponding proline-catalyzed reactions that afford the synproducts. Because of the high catalytic efficiency of 1, the reactions catalyzed by only 1 or 2 mol % of 1 afforded the desired products in reasonable yields within a few hours (entries 5, 6, 8, and 9). For the reaction of a bulky aldehyde 3,3dimethylbutanal, a higher loading of catalyst and a longer reaction time were required to afford the Mannich product anti22 (entry 10) than for the reactions of R-unbranched aldehydes. These anti-Mannich products were generally more resistant to the isomerization at the R-position of the aldehyde carbonyl group than corresponding syn-Mannich products, which were often isomerized to anti-isomer3b,c or to R,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds11 (if applicable) during purification.8 Thus, formation of highly enantiomerically enriched Mannich products in an anti-selective fashion was beneficial to access to amino acid derivatives in more pure forms than formation of corresponding syn-Mannich products.

The anti-products were obtained in good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The reaction with a glyoxylate imine possessing a bulky group, tert-butyl, also proceeded smoothly and afforded the Mannich product with excellent antiselectivity and enantioselectivity (entry 3). Mannich-Type Reactions of Aldehyde Donors Using Catalysts 4 and ent-4.

When the reactions in entry 1 (in DMSO) and in entry 9 (in 2-PrOH) were performed in the absence the catalyst, no formation of Mannich product 15 was detected after 2.5 h in either reaction. After 6.5 h, in 2-PrOH, formation of trace amounts of 15 (<5%, anti/syn ) 4:1) was detected by 1H NMR of the crude mixture. Formation of 15 in the absence of a catalyst was negligible for the time range of the catalyzed reaction shown in Table 7. When purified syn-15 (syn/anti 96:4) in 2-PrOH (0.1 M) was treated with catalyst 4 (0.1 equiv to 15), the syn/ anti ratio of 15 was 95:5 at 3 h and 87:13 at 6 h. Although the isomerization rate in 2-PrOH was faster than that in CDCl3 or in DMSO-d6 (see Table 2), changes in the dr in 2-PrOH were negligible for the time range of the 4-catalyzed Mannich reaction. These results suggested that background reaction (product formation without involving the catalyst) and isomerization of syn-15 with low ee (if any) to anti-15 were not main reasons for the moderate ee of anti-15 obtained by the 4-catalyzed reaction in 2-PrOH and that anti-15 with moderate ee in 2-PrOH was formed at the C-C bond-forming step. The 4-catalyzed reaction of isovaleraldehyde in 2-PrOH may partly proceed without desired stereocontrolling participation of the catalyst. The scope of the Mannich-type reactions between aldehydes and glyoxylate imines catalyzed by 4 and ent-4 was examined in reactions that afforded products 15 and 17-27 (Table 8). The anti-products were obtained with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities in most cases (anti/syn 93:7-99:1, anti 9099% ee). In some cases, the enantioselectivity of the 4-catalyzed reaction was slightly lower than that of the 1-catalyzed reaction. However, reactions of aldehydes with a longer alkyl chain using catalyst 4 afforded anti-Mannich products with excellent enantioselectivities (entries 5-8). Reaction with a bulky aldehyde, 3,3-dimethylbutanal, proceeded efficiently in the presence of 882 J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 9 VOL. 130, NO. 3, 2008 catalyst 4, although the ee of the anti-product was moderate (entry 9). By using 4 or its enantiomer ent-4, both enantiomers of the anti-Mannich products were obtained in good yields with high enantioselectivities. Mannich-type reactions of R,R-disubstituted aldehydes catalyzed by 4 afforded products 28 and 29 in good yields (Table 9), although the diastereo- and enantioselectivities were low to moderate and the syn-product was the major diastereomer in both cases. For the 4-catalyzed Mannich reactions of R-branched aldehydes, use of 2-PrOH as the solvent provided good results with respect to reaction rate and yield. These 4-catalyzed Mannich-type reactions of R,R-disubstituted aldehydes were significantly faster than the corresponding proline-catalyzed reactions.3f Enantioselective and asymmetric Mannich-type reactions constitute key steps for simple access to enantiomerically enriched β-lactams.3b,c,12 Using Mannich product (2R,3S)-anti15 obtained by the ent-4-catalyzed reaction, trans-β-lactam (3S,4R)-30 was synthesized via 31 (Scheme 5). We previously demonstrated that the corresponding syn-Mannich products generated from (S)-proline-catalyzed reactions were easily transformed to cis-β-lactams.3b,c With use of anti- or synMannich-type reactions, highly enantiomerically enriched β-lactams with desired stereochemistries, either trans or cis, respectively, can be readily obtained. Mannich-Type Reaction of Ketone Donors Using Catalysts 4 and ent-4. Evaluation of solvents for the 4-catalyzed Mannichtype of reactions between 3-pentanone and N-PMP-protected ethyl glyoxylate imine showed that 2-PrOH was the best solvent tested to afford (2S,3R)-anti-16 in good yield with high antiselectivity and enantioselectivity within a short reaction time (Table 10, entry 9). The reactions in DMSO, DMF, and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) also proceeded well and afforded the anti-product with high selectivities. Whereas catalyst 4 was soluble in DMSO, DMF, and NMP, catalyst 4 was not completely soluble in CHCl3, CH3CN, dioxane, THF, and EtOAc in the presence of excess 3-pentanone under conditions of Table 10. Catalyst 4 was even less soluble in THF and EtOAc (or THF-3-pentanone or EtOAc-3-pentanone). The slow reaction rate and low yield in these solvents may originate from the low solubility of the catalyst. Catalyst 4 was also not completely soluble in alcohols, including 2-PrOH, but the reaction in alcohols proceeded well. The reaction rate in 2-PrOH was approximately 2-fold faster than that in DMSO and the reaction in 2-PrOH provided less byproducts than that in DMSO. The reaction in EtOH was also efficient, although the ee of the antiMannich product was slightly lower than that in 2-PrOH. When the reaction in MeOH (entry 11) was performed in the absence of catalyst 4, no formation of the Mannich product was detected after 48 h, indicating that the catalyst is necessary for the reaction to proceed even in MeOH. Note that for the 4-catalyzed reactions of aldehydes, 2-PrOH was not a good solvent; the ee of the anti-Mannich product of the aldehyde reaction was moderate in 2-PrOH (see Table 7). The reactions of aldehydes in 2-PrOH may proceed without desired stereocontrolling participation of catalysts in the C-C bond-forming transition state.

As a result, the reactions of ketones occur in 2-PrOH through the transition state that affords the anti-Mannich product in a highly stereocontrolled manner. That is, 2-PrOH does not interrupt the proton transfer from the carboxylic acid of the catalysts to the imine in the C-C bondforming transition state of the reactions of ketones. 2-PrOH may stabilize the charged transition states of enamine formation of ketones and the transition state of the C-C bond formation of the Mannich-type reactions of ketones, resulting in the faster reaction rate in this solvent than in other non-alcohol solvents tested. The scope of 4-catalyzed Mannich-type reactions between a variety of ketones and R-imino esters was examined in the formation of anti-products 16 and 32-55 (Tables 11-13). In most cases, anti-Mannich products were obtained in good yields J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 9 VOL. 130, NO. 3, 2008 883 Zhang et al.

For the reactions of unsymmetrical methyl alkyl ketones, the reaction occurred predominantly at the more substituted R-position of the ketones (Table 11, entries 5-11). The regio-, diastereo-, and/or enantiomeric purities of the anti-products were readily improved by crystallization (Table 11, entries 5, 6; Table 13, entry 3). Catalyst 4 was also useful to catalyze the reactions of ketones bearing functional groups, such as halide, ester, and cyano groups, in their alkyl chains. The 4-catalyzed reactions of these functionalized ketones afforded desired anti-Mannich products without special reaction conditions (Table 11, entries 9-11). Reactions of R-heteroatom-bearing ketones were also catalyzed by 4 (Table 12). In all cases, C-C bond formation selectively occurred at the carbon bearing the heteroatom. The 884 J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 9 VOL. 130, NO. 3, 2008 diastereo- and enantioselectivities of these products varied. Rates of the 4-catalyzed reactions of these R-heteroatom-bearing ketones were generally faster than those of the 4-catalyzed reactions of alkylketones and than those of the (S)-prolinecatalyzed reactions of the same R-heteroatom-bearing ketones. The 4-catalyzed reactions of methoxyacetone, benzyloxyacetone, and hydroxyactone afforded anti-Mannich products as the major products with high enantiomeric excess (entries 1, 2, and 5). The diastereoselectivity of the reaction of hydroxyacetone was poor compared to those of the reactions of alkylketones catalyzed by 4. Use of DMSO as solvent for the reaction of hydroxyacetone did not improve the result: When the reaction was performed using the imine (1.0 mmol) and hydroxyacetone (10 mmol) in the presence of catalyst 4 (0.2 mmol) in DMSO (2.0 mL) at 25 °C, after 7 h product 42 was obtained in 67% yield (anti/syn ) 1:2, anti-42 62% ee, syn-42 <5% ee). To analyze the product formation in the absence of the catalyst, the reactions of Table 12, entry 1 (the reaction of methoxyacetone) and entry 3 (the reaction of hydroxyacetone) were performed under the conditions of this table but in the absence of the catalyst. After 2.5 h, no formation of the Mannich product was detected for either reaction. When a mixture of the imine (0.1 mmol) and hydroxyacetone (0.45 mmol) in 2-PrOH (0.2 mL), which was more concentrated than the reaction in Table 12, entry 3, was stirred at room temperature for 6.5 h, formation of a small amount of Mannich product 42 (∼10%, anti/syn ) 1:4) was observed by 1H NMR of the crude mixture. Although the Mannich-type reaction of hydroxyacetone proceeded in 2-PrOH without a catalyst, the reaction rate in the absence of the catalyst was much slower than the rate of the 4-catalyzed reaction. These results indicate that the stereoselectivities of 40 and 42 obtained in the 4-catalyzed reactions shown in Table 12 were not affected by the background reaction (product formation without involving the catalyst). Isomerization of Mannich product 42 in the reaction mixture was not also the reason for the low dr of this product: When a mixture of purified product 42 (0.2 mmol; anti/syn ) 1:2, anti42 62% ee, syn-42 <5% ee) and catalyst 4 (0.02 mmol) in 2-PrOH (0.4 mL) was stirred at 25 °C, the dr and ee values of anti-Mannich-Type Reactions ARTICLES Table 13. anti-Mannich-Type Reactions of Cyclic Ketones Catalyzed by 4a entry 1e 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 X R CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 S S O C(OCH2)2 C(OCH2)2 (CH2)2 (CH2)3 Et i-Pr t-Bu CH2CHdCH2 Et Et Et Et Et Et Et catalyst (equiv) product yieldb (%) drc anti/syn eed (%) 0.1 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.1 0.05 0.1 0.1 0.05 0.1 0.1 47 48 49 50 51 51 52 53 53 54 55 96 94 92 95 78 71 82 87 80 80 65 >99:1 >99:1 >99:1 >99:1 >99:1 >99:1 >95:5 >99:1 >99:1 >95:5 >95:5 96 94 95 (99)f 95 99 97 86 97 96 84 18 a Typical conditions: Imine (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv), ketone (1.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv), 4 (0.05 mmol, 0.1 equiv or 0.025 mmol, 0.05 equiv), 2-PrOH (1.0 mL), 25 °C. b Isolated yield. c Determined by 1H NMR of isolated products. d Determined by chiral-phase HPLC of the anti-product. e Ketone (5.0 mmol, 10 equiv). f Data after crystallization. 42 were unchanged at 1.5 and 4 h. Decomposition of 42 in this mixture was approximately <2% at 1 h and <5% at 4 h as estimated by 1H NMR of the crude mixtures. The decomposition rate of 42 in the presence of catalyst 4 was similar to that in the absence of the catalyst, and these rates were faster than the decomposition rate of the Mannich product of 3-pentanone, 16. However, the dr of 42 was not affected by the decomposition for the time range used for the catalyzed reaction. When a mixture of ethyl glyoxylate imine (0.1 mmol), hydroxyacetone (0.2 mmol), and Mannich product 42 (0.1 mmol; anti/syn ) 1:2) in 2-PrOH (0.4 mL) was stirred at 25 °C for 4 h, the imine remained and the dr of 42 was not altered although some decomposed products formed (∼10%). These results indicate that Mannich product 42 did not facilitate isomerization of 42 or equilibrium/exchange between 42 and the starting materials and did not act as a catalyst to form 42 for the time range of the 4-catalyzed reaction. In the 4-catalyzed reaction of hydroxyacetone, formation of (Z)-enamine intermediate4c may be possible, because catalyst 4 does not have R-substituent on the pyrrolidine ring and because the hydroxy group is not a bulky group. Contributions of the (Z)-enamine and the (E)-enamine and/or contributions of enamine conformations K and J (Scheme 4) to the C-C bondforming transition state may cause the low diastereoseoectivity of the 4-catalyzed reaction of hydroxyacetone. The 4-catalyzed reactions of (methylthio)acetone, 1-azido2-butanone, and R,R′-dibenzyloxyacetone also afforded Mannich products, although diastereo- and enantioselectivities were moderate (entries 7-9). For the reaction of dihydroxyacetone, although 4 catalyzed the reaction with much faster rate than proline did, the anti-product of the 4-catalyzed reaction was almost racemic (entry 10). For highly enantioselective antiMannich-type reactions of R-azide ketones, R,R′-dibenzyloxyacetone, and dihydroxyacetone, we are developing other catalyst systems that will be reported separately. For the reactions of six-membered cyclic ketones, use of only 5 mol % of catalyst 4 and 2 equiv of ketone to the imine afforded anti-Mannich products in good yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities within approximately 12 h (Table 13). The reaction of a seven-membered cyclic ketone was also efficiently Scheme 6 Scheme 7 catalyzed by 4 and afforded anti-Mannich product with high diastereoselectivity and good enantioselectivity (entry 10). For the reaction between 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one3k,l and N-PMP-protected R-imino ethyl glyoxylate, however, use of catalyst 4 afforded the Mannich product with moderate diastereoselectivity as almost racemic form (Scheme 6). Structural differences in enamine intermediates with catalyst 4 may cause deviation of positioning of reacting carbons of enamine and imine from those of the most stable, desired transition state that affords anti-Mannich products as a single enantiomer, resulting in less differentiation of energies between transition states that afford different diastereomers and enantiomers. Reactions with Imines Other Than r-Imino Esters Catalyzed by 4. As described above, pyrrolidine derivative 4 is useful for catalyzing enantioselective, anti-selective Mannich-type reactions between many of enolizable aldehydes or ketones and N-PMP-protected R-imino esters. To further explore the applicability of this catalyst, Mannich reactions with imines other than R-imino esters were performed. As shown in Scheme 7, amino acid 4 efficiently catalyzed the reaction between 3-pentanone and an R-imino amide that was generated from glyoxyamide13 and p-anisidine in situ; anti(13) Evans, D. A.; Aye, Y.; Wu, J. Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 2071. J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 9 VOL. 130, NO. 3, 2008 885 Zhang et al. ARTICLES Scheme 8 Mannich product 56 was obtained in 93% ee. Note that when (S)-proline was used as catalyst for this reaction, the reaction rate was very slow (<10% after 4 days). Whereas 4-catalyzed reactions of R-imino esters generally afforded anti-Mannich products with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities, catalyst 4 was less optimal for reactions of imines of arylaldehydes with respect to enantioselectivities as shown in Scheme 8: The anti-Mannich products, 57, 58, and 59, were obtained with high diastereoselectivities but ee values were moderate (reaction conditions were not optimized for these reactions). In the previously reported (S)-proline-catalyzed reaction, 57 was obtained with anti/syn ) 1:2 (syn 84% ee).3h The absolute stereochemistry of the major enantiomer of anti57 generated by the 4-catalyzed reaction was the same as that of the isomerized (at the carbonyl R-position)9 product of major enantiomer of syn-57 generated by (S)-proline-catalyzed reaction.3h This suggested that the configuration of the carbon bearing the amino group of the major enantiomer of anti-product 57 generated by the 4-catalyzed reaction was S as shown in Scheme 8 (absolute configuration of syn-57 generated by (S)-prolinecatalyzed reaction was assumed by analogy). Formation of this major enantiomer is also in accord with transition state shown in Scheme 4b when the ester group is altered to p-nitrophenyl group. For imine that did not lead to high stereoselectivities, bond lengths and angles of the imines may differ from those of the glyoxylate imines, which lead to high anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity. As a result, transition states other than the most favored one may be involved in the C-C bond-forming step, leading to a mixture of enantiomers. Conclusion We have developed enantioselective anti-selective Mannichtype reactions of enolizable aldehydes and ketones with imines catalyzed by designed pyrrolidine derivatives bearing acid functional groups at the 3-position of the pyrrolidine. For reactions between aldehydes and N-PMP-protected R-imino esters, catalysts 1 and 4 were efficient catalysts to afford Mannich products with high anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity. Catalyst 2 was also an efficient catalyst for the reaction as catalyst 1. For the 1- and 4-catalyzed Mannich reactions of aldehydes, the 3-acid group on pyrrolidine was essential for 886 J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 9 VOL. 130, NO. 3, 2008 efficient acceleration of the C-C bond formation and for stereocontrol as it engages proton transfer to the imine nitrogen at the C-C bond-forming step. In the reactions of aldehydes, the 5-methyl group of catalyst 1 cooperatively contributed to the stereodirecting effect of the 3-acid group to provide perfect anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity. Catalysis and stereocontrolling function provided by 1 and 4 originated in favored positioning of the nucleophilic carbon of the enamine and the electrophilic carbon of the imine under proton transfer from the 3-acid group of the catalyst to the imine nitrogen. For reactions between ketones and N-PMP-protected R-imino esters or R-imino amide, catalyst 4 was useful to afford Mannich products with high anti-selectivity and enantioselectivity. Ketones applicable to the 4-catalyzed reactions included acyclic and cyclic ketones and functionalized ketones, although antiselectivity and enantioselectivity varied. Catalyst 4 also efficiently catalyzed the reactions of hindered ketones; these reactions are generally difficult with catalysis of pyrrolidine derivatives possessing R-substituents, such as proline. In the 1- or 4-catalyzed reactions of reactants that did not provide products with high stereoselectivities, bond lengths and angles of the enamines and imines may vary from those of the best reactants; causing deviations from the perfect positioning of the reacting carbons. As a result, several transition states may be used in the bond formation, leading reduced selectivities. Importantly, our designed catalysts were useful for the reactions with R-imino esters and amide to provide highly diastereomerically and enantiomerically enriched amino acid derivatives containing two stereocenters. Catalysts 1 and 4 are the smallest known catalysts for enantioselective anti-selective Mannich reactions of enolizable aldehydes and ketones. Compared to other larger catalysts containing binaphthyl groups5a,d or metal-coordinating groups,2a-c,e our catalyst designs are atom-economical. Our catalysts catalyze enantioselective anti-selective Mannich reactions under mild conditions using a low catalyst load. As we have shown here and in previous reports, anti- or syn-Mannich products can be enantioselectively generated by using catalysts that have an acid group at the 3-position or 2-position on a pyrrolidine ring. Further fine-tuning of the acid group at the 2- or 3-position of pyrrolidine and attachment of substituents at remaining positions of the acid-containing pyrrolidines should provide useful, highly diastereoselective and enantioselective catalysts for other Mannich and Mannich-type reactions and for reactions other than Mannich reactions, such as aldol and Michael reactions. Computational studies concerning Mannich-type reactions catalyzed by the series of pyrrolidine derivatives described here are currently under investigation by the Houk laboratory4a and will be reported in due course.

An inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon was not used for the reactions. General procedure for the Mannich-type reactions between N-PMP protected α-imino esters and aldehyde donors (Tables 5, 6 and 8). N-PMP-protected α-imino ester (0.25 mmol, 1 equiv) was dissolved in anhydrous DMSO (2.5 mL) and aldehyde (0.5 mmol, 2 equiv) was added, followed by catalyst 1 or 4 (0.0125 mmol, 0.05 equiv). After stirring at room temperature (25 oC) for the indicated time in the Table, the mixture was worked up by addition of aqueous saturated ammonium chloride solution and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated in vacuo, and purified by flash column chromatography (10-15% EtOAc/hexane) to afford the Mannich addition product. When the catalyst loading was 1 or 2 mol%, the reaction was performed using N-PMP-protected α-imino ethyl glyoxylate (0.5 mmol, 1 equiv), aldehyde (1.0 mmol, 2 equiv), and catalyst 1 (0.005 or 0.01 mmol, 0.01 or 0.02 equiv) in DMSO (5 mL). The diastereomeric ratio was determined by 1H NMR or HPLC as indicated. The dr values of the products changed with silica gel. To obtain excellent dr, flash chromatography was performed quickly. General procedure for the 4-catalyzed Mannich-type reactions between N-PMP protected α-imino esters and acyclic ketones donors (Tables 11 and 12). N-PMP-protected α-imino ester (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in 2-PrOH (1.0 mL) and ketone (1.0 mmol, 2 equiv for α-functionalized ketones (Table 12) or 5.0 mmol, 10 equiv for Table 11) was added to the solution, followed by catalyst 4 (0.05 mmol, 0.1 equiv). After stirring at room temperature (25 oC) for the indicated time in the Table, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash column chromatography. The diastereomeric ratio was determined by 1H NMR of the isolated S7 product. The enantiomeric excess of the anti-product was determined by chiral-phase HPLC analysis. The chiral-phase HPLC analysis was also used for the determination of the diastereomeric ratio as indicated. General procedure for the 4-catalyzed Mannich-type reactions between between N-PMP protected α-imino esters and cyclic ketones (Table 13). N-PMP-protected α-imino ester (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in 2-PrOH (1.0 mL) and ketone (1.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv) was added to the solution, followed by catalyst 4 (0.05 mmol, 0.1 equiv or 0.025 mmol, 0.05 equiv). After stirring at room temperature (25 oC) for 10–16 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash column chromatography. The diastereomeric ratio was determined by 1H NMR of the isolated product. The enantiomeric excess of the anti-product was determined by chiral-phase HPLC analysis. N-PMP protected α-imino esters were prepared as previously reported. See Supporting Information of ref. 5. Racemic standards of the Mannich products were synthesized using (±)-pipecolic acid6, (±)-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid,2,5 (±)-proline, and/or pyrrolidine-CF3COOH.
