A general, highly enantioselective Michael addition of nitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated enones catalyzed by 9-amino(9-deoxy)-epi-quinine: a remarkable additive effect
2016
Abstract A particularly general protocol for the organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition of nitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated enones is reported. The Michael reaction proceeded smoothly and provided the desired adducts in moderate to excellent yields (55–99%) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (65–99% ee). The addition of readily available achiral base significantly enhanced the reactivity without compromising the enantioselectivity.
