© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York Synlett 2015. Conjugate addition of enantiopure lithium (R)-N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to a range of ω-aryl-α,β-unsaturated esters gives the corresponding ω-aryl-β-amino esters as single diastereoisomers in high yields. Friedel-Crafts cyclisation of the pendant carbonyl group onto the ω-aryl ring then gives a range of 3-amino-substituted 1-indanones, 1-tetralones, and 1-benzosuberones, representing an efficient and short protocol for the preparation of these benzo-fused carbocycles in enantiopure form.
