A series of novel chiral bifunctional tertiary amine–thioureas based on spirobiindane were designed and synthesized as organocatalysts. One of these catalysts was shown to promote the asymmetric Michael addition reaction of 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione to nitroolefins, affording the desired products in good yields (up to 95%) and enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).
A series of novel carbohydrate-derived thioureas were synthesized and examined as catalysts for the asymmetric Michael addition of symmetrical 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, including dimethyl malonate, to several trans-β-nitrostyrenes. High enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee) as well as high yields (up to 98%) were attained using a bifunctional organocatalyst bearing a cinchona-based alkaloid unit.
