Chiralprimary amines containing the (R,R)- and (S,S)-trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine scaffold and a pyrimidin-2-yl unit are synthesized and used as general organocatalysts for the Michael reaction of α-branched aldehydes to maleimides.

α,β-dipeptides as chiralorganocatalysts in the asymmetricMichaeladditionreaction between enolizable aldehydes and N-arylmaleimides or nitroolefins is described. With N-arylmaleimides as substrates, the best results were achieved with dipeptide 2 as a catalyst in the presence of aq. NaOH. Whereas dipeptides 4 and 6 in conjunction with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and thiourea as a hydrogen bond

amine-squaramides catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition reaction of α,α-disubstituted aldehydes to maleimides has been developed. This organocatalytic asymmetric reaction provides easy access to functionalized succinimides with a broad substrate scope. Both enantiomers of desired succinimide derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee)
commercially available chiral 1,2-diamines were used as organocatalysts for the enantioselective conjugate addition of aldehydes, including α,α-disubstituted, to maleimides. The reaction was carried out in the presence of hexanedioic acid as an additive in aqueous solvents at room temperature. By employing (1S,2S)- and (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine as organocatalysts, the corresponding Michael adducts bearing
