Chiral Primary Amine Catalyzed Enantioselective Tandem Reactions Based on Heyns Rearrangement: Synthesis of α-Tertiary Amino Ketones.

Herein, we disclose a new catalytic asymmetric tandem reaction based on the Heyns rearrangement for the synthesis of chiral α-amino ketones with readily available substrates. The rearrangement is different from the Heyns rearrangement in that the α-amino ketones were obtained without the shift of the carbonyl group. The key to success is using chiral primary amine as a catalyst by mimicking glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase in catalyzing the efficient Heyns rearrangement in organisms.
