Organocatalysed asymmetric Mannich reactions.

TLDR
This tutorial review provides an overview of the recent history of the asymmetric organocatalysed Mannich reaction, including scope and limitations, and application of different catalyst systems.
Abstract
The asymmetric Mannich reaction ranks among the most potent enantioselective and diastereoselective C–C-bond forming reactions. In recent years, organocatalysed versions of asymmetric Mannich processes have been increasingly reported and used in a rapidly growing number of applications. This tutorial review provides an overview of the recent history of the asymmetric organocatalysed Mannich reaction, including scope and limitations, and application of different catalyst systems.

Catalytic asymmetric direct Mannich reaction: a powerful tool for the synthesis of alpha,beta-diamino acids.

TL;DR: Progress inOptically active alpha,beta-diamino acids is boosted through two complementary strategies: the direct Mannich reaction of glycine ester Schiff bases with imines and the direct aza-Henry reaction between nitro compounds and imines.

Chiral Brønsted Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Mannich-Type Reaction

TL;DR: The N-2-hydroxyphenyl group of aldimine was found to be essential for the present Mannich-type reaction and two possible monocoordination and dicoordination pathways were explored using density functional theory calculations.

Bifunctional organocatalysts for enantioselective aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction.

TL;DR: The efficient and novel bifunctional organocatalyst for the enantioselective aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction has been established with (S)-3-(N-isopropyl-N-3-pyridinylaminomethyl)BINOL for the first time.

Proline-catalysed Mannich reactions of acetaldehyde

TL;DR: Yang et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that acetaldehyde is a powerful nucleophile in asymmetric, proline-catalysed Mannich reactions with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (N-Boc)-imines, yielding β-amino aldehydes with extremely high enantioselectivities.

The Direct Organocatalytic Asymmetric Mannich Reaction: Unmodified Aldehydes as Nucleophiles

TL;DR: The efforts in broadening the applicability of chiral pyrrolidine-based catalysts in direct asymmetric Mannich-type reactions led to the highly diastereo- and enantioselective and concise synthesis of functionalized alpha- and beta-amino acids, beta-lactams, and amino alcohols.
