One aspect of the present invention relates to quinine-based and quinidine-based catalysts. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of preparing a derivatized quinine-based or quinidine-based catalyst comprising 1) reacting quinine or quinidine with 5 base and a compound that has a suitable leaving group, and 2) converting the ring methoxy group to a hydroxy group. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing a chiral, non-racemic compound from a prochiral electron-deficient alkene or azo compound or prochiral aldehyde or prochiral ketone, comprising the step of: reacting a prochiral electron-deficient alkene or azo compound or prochiral aldehyde or prochiral 10 ketone with a nucleophile in the presence of a catalyst; thereby producing a chiral, non racemic compound; wherein said catalyst is a derivatized quinine or quinidine. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of kinetic resolution, comprising the step of reacting racemic chiral alkene with a nucleophile in the presence of a derivatized quinine or quinidine.
A novel and recyclable catalyst, a C3-symmetrical cinchonine-squaramide, has been developed for the asymmetric Michaeladdition of 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds to nitroalkenes. When using only 1 mol% of catalyst 1a for the reaction, high reaction yields with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities (up to 96% yield,>99% ee,>99:1 dr) were achieved, in which the results for cyclic keto esters
