Catalytic stereoselective additions with maleimides are useful one-step reactions to yield chiral succinimides, molecules that are widespread among therapeutically active compounds but challenging to prepare when the maleimide is C-substituted. We present the tripeptide H-Pro-Pro-Asp-NHC<sub>12</sub> H<sub>25</sub> as a catalyst for conjugate addition reactions between aldehydes and C-substituted maleimides to form succinimides with three contiguous stereogenic centers in high yields and stereos ...[more]
