Abstract: Optically active isoindolinones are synthesized by asymmetric intramolecular aza-Michael reactions using cinchoninium phase-transfer organocatalysts. The resulting compounds are useful intermediates for the synthesis and development of benzodiazepine-receptor agonists.
Keywords: organocatalysis, phase-transfer catalysis, aza-Michael, heterocycle, isoindolinone.
