/bjoc.12.222 Abstract A dipeptide-based urea-amide tertiary amine (DP-UAA) was shown to be an effective Brønsted base catalyst for the first asymmetric annulation reaction between 5H-thiazol-4-ones and N-itaconimides. High levels of enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) and diastereoselectivity (>19:1 dr
) were obtained for a series of spirocyclic 1,4-sulfur-bridged piperidinone-based succinimides.

Sulfur-containing tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters are widely

Succinimides are present in many biologically significant molecules and are investigated as potential pharmacophores in the research of drug discovery [11][12]. Our group has recently devised N-itaconimides for the assembly of succinimide frameworks [13][14][15][16][17][18]. As an extension of these works
