Abstract

The three-component direct Mannich reaction between aldehydes, p-toluenesulfonamide, and enolizable ketones was achieved for the first time with organic bases as the catalysts. The corresponding N-tosylated β-aminoketones were obtained in high yields and good to excellent diastereoselectivities using TMG as the catalyst. Through reduction of the ketone group, the reaction product may be converted into β-aminol with excellent diastereoselectivity.
