Highly Regio- and Stereoselective [3+2] Cycloaddition of Carbonyl Ylides with Imines: A Novel Entry to Oxa-Bridged Piperidinone Ring Systems

Abstract

The reaction of α-diazo ketones and N-tosylimines in the presence of a rhodium(II) acetate catalyst led diastereoselectively to the oxa-bridged piperidinone ring systems. The stereochemistry was assigned based on a single-crystal X-ray analysis.

carbenoids - diazo ketones - imines - piperidinones - rhodium(II) acetate
