The development of efficient and practical methods for the construction chiral succinimide frameworks, which are backbone various natural products widely studied in field pharmaceuticals, attracts considerable research attention. In this study, an asymmetric Mannich reaction α-benzylidene succinimides with N-Boc imines was successfully performed using a bifunctional squaramide-type organocatalyst derived from quinine, affording corresponding adduct two contiguous stereocenters high yields (up to 98%) diastereoselectivities >20:1 dr) excellent enantioselectivities 99% ee). This protocol provides direct approach prepare derivatives simple starting material. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations conformational search autosampling program revealed that enantioselectivity profile dominated by deformation organocatalyst.
