Cover Picture: Sigmatropic [1,5] Carbon Shift of Transient C3 Ammonium Enolates (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 31/2022)
Graphical Abstract
The reaction path of the Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular aza-Michael addition to form a C3 ammonium enolate is reported by Jan Paradies et al. in their Communication (e202204378). This transient intermediate rearranges diastereospecifically to the tetrahydroquinoline-4-one scaffold. The central structure in the picture represents the transition state of the diastereospecific sigmatropic [1,5] carbon shift which proceeds with retention of configuration on the migrating carbon center.
