Abstract

A cooperative catalyst consisting of a soft Lewis acid and a hard Brønsted base promoted the title reaction. The N-thiophosphinoyl group on the ketimines was critical to surpass the high activation barrier through the soft-soft interaction of sulfur and copper. Mannich adducts with a tetrasubstituted stereogenic center were produced with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. TANIAPHOS= ferrocenyl ligand.
