A range of chiral ester and chiral imide derivatives of 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid were utilized in double-Mannich reactions with bis(aminol)ethers to develop an asymmetric synthesis of azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes. An improved method for the double-Mannich reaction of β-ketoesters and bis(aminol)ethers using sub-stoichiometric quantities of a Lewis acid was developed. Additionally, a sequential, double-Mannich approach was investigated incorporating chiral auxiliaries into N,O-acetals. The use of oxazolidinone auxiliaries afforded the best yields and diastereoselectivities enabling separation of the resulting diastereomers of the azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes.
