Abstract

A highly efficient Michael addition of α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactam to various β-acyl acrylates and ene-diones to provide synthetically useful compounds was developed. The products were obtained with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >25:1 dr and 99% ee) containing adjacent tertiary stereocenters.
