Current 1, 6-conjugate addition typically focused on pre-synthesized para-quinone methides bearing a δ-mono substituent for tertiary stereocenter formation. Here, an efficient 1, 6-aza-conjugate addition of primary anilines to pre-prepared δ-CN-δ-aryl disubstituted para-quinone methides for facile access to sterically hindered amines with a fully substituted α-car-bon center has been described. The mild and expeditious method exhibited broad scopes of both aniline and para-quinone methide components. The generality of the method in modular preparation of medicinally valuable, sterically hindered amines was further demonstrated by using cyclic secondary amines like morpholine and imidazole as nucleophilic components.
