Chiral NHC-catalyzed kinetic resolution of -aryl aminomaleimides allowing the synthesis of C-N axially chiral -aryl aminomaleimides via remote chirality control is presented. The catalytically generated α,β-unsaturated acylazoliums from 2-bromoenals underwent selective [3 + 3] annulation with one of the enantiomers of maleimide to furnish fused-dihydropyridinone (bearing axial/central chirality, up to 6:1 dr, >99:1 er) leaving the enantioenriched opposite enantiomer (up to >99:1 er). Studies on C-N bond rotation barrier and dependence on temperature are also provided.

3-Aryl-4-aminomaleimides have well-demonstrated applications, such as being used as fluorophores and inhibitors. However, their previous synthesis methods have involved tedious multi-step procedures or methods that need pre-functionalized maleimides and toxic or unstable reagents. Here, a feasible method is developed to synthesize these useful compounds.

Organic fluorophores have attracted great interest owing to their wide applications. They usually contain an electron-conjugated system with an aromatic moiety and show high emission in dilute solutions but weaker or even no emission upon aggregation. Here, a simple one-pot, three-component reaction (3CR) (method I) for the synthesis of various di- and monosubstituted aminomaleimides (DAMIs and MAMIs) has been developed, and the reported 3CR (method II) has been found to be efficient only for the synthesis of MAMIs with R = alkyl.
