Highly Enantioselective Decarboxylative Mannich Reaction of Malonic Acid Half Oxyesters with Cyclic Trifluoromethyl Ketimines: Synthesis of β‐Amino Esters and Anti‐HIV Drug DPC 083

Abstract

An organocatalytic enantioselective decarboxylative Mannich reaction of malonic acid half oxyesters with cyclic ketimines was developed for the preparation of enantioenriched β-amino esters with a quaternary stereogenic center and the anti-HIV drug DPC 083 (see scheme).
