Recently great efforts have been made on developing methodology for generating secondary carbinols as well as secondary propargyl alcohol and propargyl amine by enantioselective alkynylation of aldehydes and aldimines.[1] However, the asymmetric synthesis of tertiary carbinols and carbinamines by addition of carbon nucleophiles to ketones and ketimines has experienced considerable frustration. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is prone to mutation, which in turn leads to drug resistance. Dihydroquinazolines DPC961 and DPC083 are second-generation HIV nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) with enhanced potency when compared to Efavirenz (Sustiva).[2] DPC 961 is currently undergoing clinical evaluation owing to its activity against wild-type HIV-1 and its increased potency toward the K103N-containing HIV as well as other NNRTI-resistant mutant viruses.[3]The challenge for synthesizing this class of NNRTIs is to form a tertiary carbinamine in an asymmetric manner. The syntheses of these compounds include diastereoselective 1, 4-addition of a magnesium acetylide to 2 (3H)-quinazolinone containing a chiral auxiliary substituent [4] or 1, 2-enantioselective addition of a lithium acetylide to a cyclic N-acyl ketimines using lithium cinochona alkaloids [5] or lithium 4β-morpholinocaran-3α-ol as a chiral moderator.[6] The asymmetric addition step, for which
