Optically active N-unsubstituted α-keto aziridines 2 were synthesized from conjugated enones 1 via the Sc [(R)-BNP] 3-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of O- methylhydroxylamine followed by the La (Oi-Pr) 3-catalyzed ring closure of the corresponding β-methoxyamino ketones 3. A remarkably high asymmetric amplification was observed during the Michael addition, and notable kinetic resolution was also realized ...
