The asymmetric vinylogous Mannich reaction of dicyanoalkylidenes with α-amido sulfones under phase-transfer conditions

Abstract
The stereoselective vinylogous Mannich reaction of dicyanoalkylidenes under phase-transfer catalytic conditions utilizing stable α-amido sulfones as imine precursors is presented; a rigid pyrrolidinium salt acts as the phase-transfer catalyst, giving access to the amino alkylated products in generally good yield and up to 95% ee.
