38. To the best of our knowledge, only one example of a CM reaction involving sulfinyl amines was reported in the literature: J. C. González- Gómez, F. Foubelo, M. Yus, Synlett 2008, 2702.
39. 2, gave the CM product 4b in only 21% yield.
40. A recent study of the intramolecular aza-Michael reaction under basic conditions showed a similar influence of the base in the selectivity: C. Enkisch, C. Schneider, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2009, 5549.
41. An analogue π-stacking interaction was previously invoked to explain the selectivity found in the intermolecular aza-Michael reaction of amines to 8-phenylmenthol-derived enoates: F. Dumas, B. Mezrhab, J. d'Angelo, J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61, 2293.
42. Although under basic conditions the formation of piperidine derivatives were more favorable with p-tolyl sulfinyl amines, the corresponding CM reaction to obtain the Michael acceptor took place in only 5% yield, and we decided to use the tert-butyl sulfinyl amine in the process.
43. We have previously described in a preliminary communication the synergistic effect of second-generation Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst with boron trifluoride in an analogous tandem process with carbamates as the source of the nucleophilic nitrogen: S. Fustero, D. Jimémnez, M. Sánchez- Roselló, C. del Pozo, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 6700.
44. The inversion of selectivity in an intramolecular aza-Michael process under base or Lewis acid catalysis has previously been observed: S. Sukemoto, M. Oshige, M. Sato, K. Mimura, H. Nishioka, H. Abe, T. Harayama, Y. Takeuchi, Synthesis 2008, 3081.
