Abstract

Chiral P-spiro triaminoiminophosphorane (1) was developed to promote the highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective 1,6- and 1,8-additions of azlactones (2·H) to dienyl and trienyl N-acylpyrroles (3 and 4). DFT calculations enabled us to gain deep insight into the whole reaction mechanism as well as the origin of the high regio- and stereoselectivities. The present reaction consists of three steps: (1) formation of the phosphonium-enolate ion-pair complex by deprotonation of 2·H with 1, (2) C-C bond formation of 2 with 3 and 4, and (3) protonation of the resulting enolate anion. The C-C bond formation is irreversible, and the rate- and stereodetermining step. The C
