In the presence of various Lewis acids, the amino acid ester‐imines 1 undergo tandem Mannich‐Michael reactions and aza‐Diels‐Alder reactions respectively with the Danishefsky diene 2 and the Brassard diene 3 . The products are formed in good yields and high diastereomeric excesses. Cleavage of the chiral auxiliary group—achieved by means of a Curtius rearrangement, by which the α‐C of the amino acid is converted into an aminal—and subsequent hydrolysis afforded unsaturated lactams such as 4 and enaminones 5 , which find use as synthetic building blocks.
