Resumen: Preliminary results concerning the first asymmetric synthesis of highly functionalized 1-benzamido-1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives via the reaction of hydrazones with alkylidenemalononitriles in the presence of ß-isocupreidine catalyst are reported. The moderate, but promising, enantioselectivity observed (40-54% ee), opens the door to a new area of research for the asymmetric construction of new chiral 1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives, whose enantioselective catalytic preparation are still very limited. Moreover, the use of hydrazones for the enantioselective construction of chiral 1, 4-dihydropyridines has been overlooked in the literature so far. Therefore, our research represents a pivotal example in this field which remains still unexplored.
