ature in the presence of 1a (10mol%). Although the conjugate addition of 2 with amide 3a gave no desired product, the same reaction with N-acyl-1, 3-oxazolidinone 3b [10e] was completed after 96 h to give the Michael adduct 4b in 89% yield (Table 1, entries 1 and 2). The enantiopurity of 4b was revealed to be 83% ee by means of HPLC analysis. In the hope of enhancing the hydrogen-bonding interaction with thiourea 1a, we employed N-acyl-1, 3-imidazolidinone 3c, which bears a cyclic urea moiety, as a Michael acceptor, but both the yield of 4c and enantioselectivity were poorer (59%, 81% ee; Table 1, entry 3). In contrast with 3c, N-acylpyrrolidinone 3d was revealed to be a good acceptor of 2, providing the corresponding product 4d in 93% yield with the best enantioselectivity (87% ee)(Table1, entry4). Use of N-acylpiperidinone 3e and acyclic imide 3 f for the Michael addition reaction resulted in a significant decrease in both chemical yield and enantioselectivity (Table 1, entries 5 and 6). On the other hand, the conjugate addition of 2 with imide 3g proceeded smoothly, but the enantioselectivity (84% ee) was somewhat lower than that with 3d (Table 1, entry 7). Notably, the same reaction with 3d under dilute conditions (0.1 m solution in toluene) improved the stereoselectivity up to 93% ee.
