Abstract
During the synthesis of the new antimalarial drug candidate NITD609, a high degree of diastereoselectivity in the Pictet-Spengler reaction was observed. By isolating both of the 4E and 4Z imine intermediates, a systematic mechanistic study of the reaction under both kinetic and thermodynamic conditions was conducted. This study provides insight into the source of the diastereoselectivity for this important class of compounds.
