title: Lithium amide assisted asymmetric Mannich-type reactions of menthyl acetate with PMP-aldimines.
abstract: A lithium enolate of menthyl acetate added to PMP-imines, in the presence of an equimolar amount of lithium diisopropylamide, affords the Mannich-type addition products in high stereoselectivity. [reaction--see text]
