Abstract

The asymmetric synthesis of a tetrasubstituted bicyclic guanidine 1 is described. This salt may serve as an oxoanionbinding modul in open‐chain artificial receptors. The synthetic key step involves asymmetric alkylation of a Schöllkopf bislactim ether 8a/b to produce after protection/deprotection steps a chiral open‐chain triamine 13 which can be cyclized by thiophosgene as a C1‐building block to yield the target structure 1. The diastereoselectivity (%de) and enantioselectivity (%ee) of the synthetic pathway exceed 94%.
