title: Asymmetric Michael reaction involving chiral imines/secondary enamines: stereocontrolled synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted tetrahydrothiophen-3-ones.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The asymmetric Michael reaction involving a chiral imine derived from 2-methyltetrahydrothiophenone-3-one and enantiopure (R)-1-phenylethylamine with a variety of electrophilic alkenes furnished 2,2-disubstituted tetrahydrothiophenone-3-ones with good yields and excellent stereoselectivity.
