An asymmetric Mannich-type addition of aldimines and haloacetonitriles is reported here, yielding halogenated aminonitriles with excellent stereoselectivity, facilitated by a pincer Ni(II) complex as a catalyst. Haloacetonitriles are recognized as reactive electrophiles, and the possibility of their use as a pronucleophile has been almost neglected for many years. The resulting adduct can be readily converted into various valuable derivatives, including chiral aziridines, starting from chlorinated compounds.

Chiral fully-substituted allenes are synthetically significant and pivotal building blocks that can engage in diverse transformations toward a variety of bioactive molecules. The enantioselective assembly of these skeletons using readily available reactants offers significant advantages but remains challenging. Herein, an asymmetric formal Michael-type addition of alkynyl imines with the key alkylgold intermediates derived in situ from N-propargylamides is accomplished under gold-complex and chiral quinine-derived squaramide (QN-SQA) synergetic catalysis.

A powerful synthetic strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically enriched γ-functionalized α-amino acid derivatives based on the highly stereoselective proline-catalyzed Mannich-type reaction of pre-prepared or -generated γ-pyrone-derived aldimines with carbonyl compounds and subsequent transformations of multifunctional reaction products has been developed. A significant positive nonlinear effect was detected for the key organocatalytic reaction. The developed strategy was applied for facile gram-scale preparation of ()-γ-oxonorvaline, used for site-specific modification of proteins, and both enantiomers of amycolatolide A recently isolated from the lichen-derived actinomycete sp.

The asymmetric Mannich-type reaction of quinoxalin-2-ones with difluoroenoxysilanes has been developed for the synthesis of chiral -difluoroalkylated quinoxalin-2-ones. The reaction worked in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid and B(CF) in THF at room temperature. The reaction exhibited a good substrate scope furnishing the products in good yields (up to 97%) with up to 96% .
