Mechanism-guided studies of Brønsted acid and base organocatalysis

We have studied the mechanism of the reaction of N-Boc imines and acetylacetone in the presence and absence of chiral phosphoric acid catalysts. In order to gain mechanistic insight into the asymmetric Mannich reaction, a structurally homologous series of N-Boc imines and BINOL-derived phosphoric ac...
