Introduction The asymmetric Mannich reaction1-7 is one of the most powerful carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions for the construction of nitrogen-containing compounds. The utilization of this reaction allows for the preparation of optically enriched β-amino carbonyl compounds and their derivatives. In some instances these reactions have proven effective for the generation of

biologically significant and synthetically useful β-amino acids that contain a quaternary stereocenter substituted with a nitrogen atom adjacent to the carbonyl group.8-10 Traditionally, asymmetric Mannich reactions are catalyzed by chiral transition-metal complexes.11-17 In 2000, List described firstly the L-proline catalysed Mannich reaction.18-19 This landmark discovery stimulated the rapid development of many asymmetric organocatalytic Mannich reactions. The typical organocatalytic approach to asymmetric Mannich reaction is based on enamine activation of carbonyl compounds using secondary amine organocatalysts.20 Other types of organocatalysts have also been successfully used for Mannich-type reactions. This review provides an overview of asymmetric Mannich reactions covering from 2007 to now under different organocatalytic systems in recent years. Several organocatalytic approaches will be reviewed, which can be divided in catalysis by (i) chiral amines, (ii) chiral bifunctional thioureas (iii) chiral Brønsted acids, and (iv) other chiral organocatalysis.
1. Catalysed by Chiral Amines Organocatalytic Mannich reactions can be carried out either as three-component, one-pot reactions or as reactions of preformed imines with aldol donors. Chiral amines resulting in chiral enamines can attack a Mannich acceptor, usually a prochiral aldimine, thereby introducing one or two stereocenters in the Mannich product. The catalytic cycle is completed by regeneration of the amine catalyst through hydrolysis. The products are β-aminoaldehydes or β-aminoketones, which are optionally substituted at the α-position.5 1.1 L-Proline and its derivatives Among a wide variety of organocatalysts that have been used in the asymmetric Mannich reaction, the most widely used is proline. L-proline-catalysed Mannich reactions gives easy access to syn-products. Mechanistically, the stereochemical outcome of all of the reactions can be explained by invoking a transition state as depicted in Scheme 1. The stereochemical repulsion between the PMP-group and the proline moiety, in combination with protonation of the imine by the acid-functionality of proline, accounts for a si-face attack of the (E)-aldimine (from p-anisidine and acceptor aldehyde) by the si-face of the (E)-enamine formed by the ketone and proline.21 This model explains the stereochemical outcome of many similar reactions that have appeared in literature.

In 2008, Xu and coworkers22 reported an enantioselective synthetic method for substituted tetrahydropyridines via a proline-mediated cascade Mannich-type/intramolecular cyclization (Scheme 2). The advantage of the organocatalyst was that the Mannich-type reaction proceeded efficiently with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity in the presence of water. This strategy would easily provide access to structurally diverse N-PMP piperidines. In the same year, Glorius et al.23 developed the proline-catalyzed Mannich reaction of unactivated ketones, and demonstrated that the use of cyclic acceptors enabled the highly stereoselective synthesis of chiral 3-substituted morpholin-2-ones (Scheme 3). These products corresponded to α-D-amino acids that were protected at the N and O terminus by the diphenylethylene group. This protecting group for α-amino acids could be cleaved readily by hydrogenolysis in aqueous ethanol to furnish the free amino acid.

Scheme 3 List19 introduced the one-pot catalytic asymmetric synthesis of pseudo-C2 -symmetric β,β’-diaminoaldehydes with extremely high stereoselectivities, starting from acetaldehyde and either aromatic or aliphatic N-Boc imines (Scheme 4). The method was effectively extended to cross-Mannich reactions, furnishing β,β’-diamino aldehydes containing three adjacent stereogenic centers.

In the same year, Li et al.25 developed that 2-Aryl-3H-indol-3-ones reacted with aldehydes or ketones to afford the corresponding aza-quaternary carbon addition product in good yield with moderate to excellent regioselectivity and enantioselectivity, showed L-proline was an effective catalyst in the reaction. The system was applied to the reaction of 2-(2-bromo-phenyl)-3H- indol3-one and acetaldehyde to produce 2-[2-(2-bromophenyl)-3-oxoindolin-2-yl] acetaldehyde, which was a precursor for the synthesis of some alkaloids such as hinckdentine A (Scheme 6).

Additionally, alkyl imines proceeded with a divergent and novel reaction pathway, further demonstrating the utility of this technology.

catalysts in the Mannich reaction of cyclohexanone with N-PMP-protected α-imino ethylglyoxylate with practical advantages in comparison with L-proline in different solvents and ionic liquids (Scheme 8). Ionic liquids could be used as solvents as well, although in this case, proline sulfonamides were less diastereo- and enantioselective than common organic solvents. Owing to larger differences in ionic liquids than in molecular solvents, a broader range of ionic liquids seemed to be necessary to gain deeper insight into the reactivity of these catalysts in the Mannich reaction.

Recently, An et al.29 developed the asymmetric three-component Mannich reactions of cyclohexanone and anilines with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of H2O mediated by Isosteviol–proline (4) as highly efficient amphiphilic organocatalysts, and afforded syn-Mannich products with excellent diastereoselectivities (syn/anti up to 98 :2) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) (Scheme 10).

Scheme 10 1.2 Pyrrolidine derivatives Nowadays, a series of enamine forming amines are available that give rise to the anti-products in good selectivity. The stereoselectivity observed when catalysts are used can be rationalized through the proposed transition state in the well-established enamine catalysis mechanism (Scheme 11).30 Thus, nucleophilic attack on the imine preferentially occurs from the (Si,Si) lk face to afford the corresponding anti-β-amino aldehydes as major products. The asymmetric induction caused by the bulky pyrrolidine substituent is the opposite of that induced by hydrogen-bonding when proline is used as catalyst. Ar Ar'

In 2008, Melchiorre group31 discribed the the Hayashi-Jørgensen catalyst (5) catalyzed antiselective Mannich reaction of aldehydes with N-Cbz- and N-Boc-protected imines generated in situ from stable amido sulfones (Scheme 12). Besides the high level of efficiency and stereocontrol achieved, this approach introduced important synthetic advantages by avoiding the requirement to preform the N-carbamoyl imines. The following year, Fustero et al.32 reported that α,α-diarylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether (5 or 6) catalyzed the asymmetric Mannich reaction between fluoroalkyl aldimines and aldehydes. The corresponding Mannich adducts were reduced and afforded anti-β-alkyl-γ-fluoroalkyl-γ-amino alcohols in highly diastereo- and enantioselectivities (Scheme 13). OTMS HN

Scheme 13 Melchiorre et al.33 developed a highly efficient system for the asymmetric amino catalytic Mannich reaction of unmodified aldehydes with in situ generated N-carbamoyl imines in 2010, (Scheme 14). The main feature of this method lay in the operational simplicity: the highly reactive N-carbamate-protected imines were generated in situ from stable, easily handled αamido sulfones. The judicious selection of commercially available chiral amine catalysts 6 and 7 allowed full control of the stereochemistry of the Mannich process; either the syn- or anti-βamino aldehydes were accessible with very high stereocontrol. In 2011, Hayashi group34 also showed a highly diastereo- and enantioselectives asymmetric Mannich reaction of imines derived from aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by diarylprolinol silyl ether 5 (Scheme 15). Later, They still developed a one-pot synthesis of chiral aziridine derivatives with excellent

activate the imine acceptor component, while controlling the stereochemistry of the process. The Mannich adducts could be easily reduced or oxidized and then deprotected to give the corresponding β-amino acids and β-amino alcohols with good yields. The reaction results also showed that this ternary catalytic system was practical in other enamine-based reactions. In 2012, The group37 still reported anti-selective and highly enantioselective Mannich reaction of aldehydes and unactivated imines mediated by the combined use of a Brønsted acid with an α,αdialkylprolinol ether catalyst (9) with good yields (typically 70~75%), anti : syn ratios greater than 90 : 10, and ee values usually above 95% (Scheme 18). The method worked particularly well with propargylic imines and, unlike previous catalytic routes to optically active propargylamines, provided adducts featuring two contiguous stereocenters and a functionalized side chain amenable for ulterior synthetic applications.

The research disclosed that the acidity of the trifluoromethylsulfonamide group was critical to achieve high stereoselectivity, and C-2 symmetry of catalyst was not a key structural feature for a high stereoselectivity. Similar work for the enantioselective anti-selective Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes and ketones with imines catalyzed by 3pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid and related pyrrolidine derivatives was also reported by Tanaka at al.39 in 2008.

The reaction required 10 mol % of the cinchona alkaloid catalyst (12), which served as a general base to generate acyl imines in situ, and aqueous Na2CO3 to maintain the concentration of free alkaloid catalyst. The cinchonine catalyzed reactions gave practical access to highly functionalized building blocks which had been employed in the synthesis of chiral dihydropyrimidones, a class of compounds rich in diverse biological activity.

in the presence of a catalytic amount of 16, the reactions between aldehydes and α-imino esters proceeded smoothly to produce a higher anti/syn ratio as well as higher enantioselectivity Mannich products than previously possible for Mannich products. The axially chiral amino sulfonamide 16 was also successfully applied to asymmetric direct cross-aldol reaction between two different aldehydes. The advantage of catalyst 16 was giving mainly syn products, whereas proline showed the opposite anti selectivity. The same year, they still reported that a highly stereoselective direct asymmetric Mannich reaction between acetaldehyde and N-Boc-protected imines, as well as an anti-selective direct asymmetric Mannich reaction of N-Boc-protected imines by using the less nucleophilic chiral amino sulfonamide 16 to suppress the undesired side reactions.45 Recently, this group46 introduced both syn- and anti-selective asymmetric direct Mannich reactions of N-protected aminoacetaldehydes with N-Boc-protected imines catalyzed by proline and the axially chiral amino sulfonamide 16 (Scheme 25). This organocatalytic process represented the first example of a Mannich reaction using Z- or Boc-protected aminoacetaldehyde as a new entry of α-nitrogen functionalized aldehyde nucleophile in enamine catalysis. The obtained optically active vicinal diamines were useful chiral synthons as exemplified by the formal synthesis of (-)-agelastatin A. NHSO2CF3 NH Boc

active α,β-diamino acid derivatives in excellent yields with high diastereoselectivities (up to > 95:5 d.r.) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions. Tan et al.48 reported the highly enantio- and diastereoselective Mannich reaction catalyzed by guanidine (18) with α-fluoro-β-keto acyloxazolidinone as the fluorocarbon nucleophile. Fluoro-β-amino acid derivatives with chiral fluorinated carbon were obtained through selective deacylation or decarboxylation reactions. Besides, the employment of N-tosylimines could result in remarkably efficient enantioselective anti-Mannich reactions (Scheme 27).49 The involvement of both oxygen atoms of sulfone in hydrogen bonding network to stablize the transition state was unprecedented, and might have implications for the design of novel organocatalytic systems.

2. Catalysed by Chiral Bifunctional Thioureas Thiourea-catalysed reactions were already earlier reported by Jacobsen group in 2002. The group firstly developed the thiourea-catalysed Mannich reaction that an efficient route to N-Bocprotected β-amino acids via the enantioselective addition of silyl ketene acetals to N-Boc aldimines in 2002.51 Later, this group reported again a highly enantioselective thiourea-catalyzed nitro-Mannich reactions in 2005.52 In 2008, a novel bifunctional chiral thiourea organocatalyst (20) bearing a glycosyl scaffold and a tertiary amino group starting from readily available alpha-D-glucose was synthesized by the Zhou group (Scheme 29).53 This thiourea was an effective organocatalyst for the asymmetric aza-Henry reaction between N-Boc imines and nitromethane. The corresponding adducts were obtained in good to excellent yields with highly anti-selective (93:7~99:1) and enantioselective (96~99% ee). OAc

The asymmetric Mannich reaction of 3-substituted oxindoles and N-Boc imines employing bifunctional thiourea-tertiary amine organocatalysts (21) based on diphenylethylene-diamine (DPEN) scaffold exhibited high diastereoselectivities.54 The corresponding Mannich adducts bearing adjacent quaternary and tertiary chiral centers were generally obtained in good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee) (Scheme 30).

Scheme 31 Huang group56 considered a novel tryptophan based bifunctional thiourea catalyst (23) that was remarkably effective in promoting the asymmetric Mannich reaction of α-fluoro-βketoesters (Scheme 32). The resulting compounds with fluorinated quaternary and tertiary stereocenters could be converted readily into α-fluoro-β-amino acids and α-fluoro-β-lactams. Preliminary computational studies suggested that the indole moiety of the catalyst played a crucial role in substrate binding. They disclosed that tertiary amine-thiourea bifunctional catalysts could be derived readily from natural amino acids, a strategy which may eventually lead to the discovery of various novel multifunctional organic catalysts.

Scheme 32 In 2010, Coltart et al.57 developed the organocatalytic Mannich reaction based on proximityassisted intracomplex soft enolization of thioesters using simple derivatives of cinchona alkaloidbased catalysts (24) (Scheme 33). This approach to enolization was based on the cooperative action of a carbonyl activating hydrogen bonding (thio)urea moiety and an amine base contained within a single catalytic entity to facilitate intracomplex deprotonation. Significantly, this allowed thioesters over a range of acidity to react efficiently, thereby opening the door to the development of a general mode of enolization-based organocatalysis of monocarboxylic acid derivatives.

3. Catalysed by Chiral Brønsted Acids It was an important pathway for enantioselective organocatalysed Mannich reactions proceeds via enantiopure Brønsted acids. As an early example, Akiyama et al.64,65 reported enantioselective Mannich-type reaction of aldimines with silyl enolates, and β-aminoesters catalysed by a series of chiral phosphate catalysts, of which phosphoric acid proved to give the best results. Schneider and co-workers66 developed that vinylketene silyl N,O-acetals readily participate vinylogous Mukaiyama-Mannich reactions catalyzed by Brønsted acid (31) with aromatic and heteroaromatic aldimines, and afforded δ-amino-α,β-unsaturated amides in good yields and enantioselectivities (Scheme 40). Direct three-component vinylogous Mannich reactions produced the products with almost identical yield and enantioselectivity, thus avoiding the synthesis of the imines in a separate step. The utility of the vinylogous Mannich products was demonstrated through conversion into various functional building blocks including a short synthesis of the enantiomerically highly enriched 2-phenylpiperidine. In 2010, Magnus and Lin67 developed the enantioselective domino Mannich-ketalization reaction of o-hydroxy benzaldimines with electron-rich alkenes promoted by Brønsted acid (32) afforded an effective and direct access to optically pure 4-aminobenzopyrans in good yields with excellent enantiomeric ratios (up to 98:2 er) (Scheme 41).

They thank that BINSA should be a powerful chiral auxiliary like BINOL, BINAP (2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene), BINAM (2,2′-diamino-1,1′binaphthalene), etc., and could trigger a new frontier in acid-base chemistry in asymmetric catalyses.

Discussion This review demonstrates clearly the diversity and power of organocatalysed asymmetric Mannich reactions. The use of proline and derivatives as the catalyst affords easy access to synproducts in good yields with high regio-, diastereo- and enantioselectivity, but pyrrolidine derivatives as the catalyst mainly gives to the anti-products. Chiral cinchona alkaloids, bifunctional thioureas and their derivatives have also been successfully employed in combination with electron-poor imines and active methylene compounds with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Chiral Brønsted acids (mostly phosphoric acids) have been employed to include the iminium ion in a chiral ion pair, which also results in enantioselective addition onto the iminium species. Besides, other chiral organocatalytic systems have been used and exhibited the exciting results in organocatalysed asymmetric Mannich reactions in recent years, For example, the using of chiral ion and chiral phase-transfer catalyst consulting in good yields as well as highly regio-, and enantioselectivities. Transition-metal-catalysed enantioselective reactions will certainly continue to play a central role in the future; however, metal-free catalysts appear to be an emerging trend over the past few years in asymmetric Mannich reactions. In past few years, enantioselective organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reactions have obtained rapid development, regarding the applications of this type of reactions, but efforts must be directed to research highly enantioselective and new type of chiral organocatalysts, in particular, and develop some procedures could be valuable to practical application in asymmetric Mannich reactions.
