The Mannich reaction is one of the most useful reactions for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds as well as an effective method for the construction of CÀC bonds.[1] A wide variety of natural products and drugs possessing optically active, nitrogen-containing molecules (proteins, nucleic acids, biologically active compounds) have attracted considerable attention from synthetic chemists and the pharmaceutical industry, which has stimulated the development of asymmetric Mannich reactions.[1, 2] Mannich and aldol reactions are both highly atom economic and address the problem of stereocontrol, and are therefore often used as key steps in modern organic synthesis. Control over the three components of the Mannich reaction (carbonyl donor, amine, and aldehyde acceptor) constitutes one of the main challenges, since side reactions such as the corresponding aldol reaction might occur, thus lowering the yield. Impressive achievements have recently been made, in particular in asymmetric catalysis, with regard to the versatility of this reaction. Catalytic direct and indirect enantioselective methodologies have been developed. While the direct Mannich reaction requires unmodified ketone donors, amines, and aldehydes, the indirect Mannich reaction uses preformed enolate equivalents and/or imines. Many catalytic asymmetric Mannich methods have been reported over the last few years.[3] Excellent indirect catalytic methods, which involve the addition of enolates to imines in the presence of metal catalysts, have been reported by the Kobayashi, Sodeoka, and Lectka research groups, who used chiral zirconium/binol, palladium (ii)/binap, and copper (i)/binap complexes, respectively (binol= 1, 1’-binaphthol, binap= 2, 2’-bis (diphenylphosphanyl)-1-1’-binaphthyl).[4] Recently, Kobayashi and co-workers developed an efficient catalytic, enantio-and diastereoselective Mannich-type reaction of a hydrazono ester with silicon enolates using water as the solvent (Scheme 1). It should be noted that this method provides access to either the syn or anti adducts stereospecifically from (E) or (Z)-enolates.[5]Most of these methods have the disadvantage that the preformed enolates are unstable. Thus, a direct methodology based on unmodified ketone donors would enhance the efficiency of the Mannich reaction. Direct and highly enantioselective catalytic asymmetric Mannich reactions were reported by Trost and Terrell as well as by Shibasaki and co-workers, who used a dinuclear zinc catalyst and zinc combined with (S, S)-linked-binol as the catalyst, respectively.[6] A new approach to a, b-
