Abstract
A simple synthesis of enantiopure anti-delta-Hydroxy-beta-enamino keto nes 3 by condensation of homochiral lithium dianions derived from beta -enamino ketones 1('') with aldehydes and ketones is reported. The mec hanism for the directed enantioselective aldol reaction was investigat ed. The anti delta-hydroxyenaminone 3 is obtained as the major diaster eomer through an open transition state. In acidic conditions the delta -hydroxyenaminones 3 are cyclized to 4-imino-2,3-dihydropyranones 4 wh ich are instable and isomerize spontaneously to gamma alkylidenenamino nes 5.
