Carbene-catalyzed activation of formyl-phenylacetic esters for access to chiral dihydroisoquinolinones

A carbene-catalyzed reaction to synthesize chiral dihydroisoquinolinones via an o-quinodimethane (o-QDM) intermediate is disclosed. o-QDM reacts with cyclic sulfonic imines via annulation to afford highly enantioenriched dihydroisoquinolinone products. ESI-HRMS studies suggest a stepwise Mannich add...
