Abstract
α-Aminonitriles and α-(alkylideneamino)nitriles can serve as readily available α-aminocarbanion equivalents. Their conjugate addition to α,β-unsaturated esters followed by reduction furnishes polysubstituted γ-amino acid esters in moderate to high yield.
Key words
Michael addition - reduction - α-aminonitriles - α-aminocarbanions - γ-amino acids

A NOESY-spectrum of trans-8d was recorded and the distance between H4 and H5 was calculated from the cross-peak volume integrals using the diastereotopic NCH2 protons as a reference. The obtained value (3.3 Å) was in good accordance with a 3D model of the trans-isomer (3.1 Å) but not with the cis-isomer (2.4 Å). Moreover, a transient NOE experiment on trans-8d revealed a close contact between H4 and one of the benzylic protons of the substituent in 5-position. The γ-lactam obtained by cyclization of 7d was not identical with trans-8d.
