Novel thiourea-amine bifunctional catalysts for asymmetric conjugate addition of ketones/aldehydes to nitroalkenes: rational structural combination for high catalytic efficiency
A series of thiourea-amine bifunctionalcatalysts have been developed by a rational combination of prolines with cinchona alkaloids, which are connected by a thiourea motif. The catalyst 3a, prepared from L-proline and cinchonidine, was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for the conjugateaddition of ketones/aldehydes to a wide range of nitroalkenes (up to 98/2 dr and 96% ee). The privileged cinchonidine
Highly enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition of cyclohexanone to nitroolefins catalyzed by a chiral glucose-based bifunctional secondary amine-thiourea catalyst
A novel bifunctional thiourea bearing a saccharide-scaffold and a secondary amino group was synthesized, and was proven to be an effective organocatalyst for the asymmetric Michael reaction of cyclohexanone to both aryl and alkyl nitroolefins. The corresponding adducts were obtained with excellent diastereo- (up to >99/1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

A novel chiral ionic liquid containing proline moiety was synthesized. It can be used as a highlyefficient and recyclable chiral organocatalyst for Michaeladdition of cyclohexanone with (E)‐β‐nitroalkenes in methanol at room temperature. The Michaeladdition affords the corresponding products in satisfactory yields of isolated products (78–98%) with high diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities
4-Aminothioureaprolinal dithioacetal 4a is a highlyefficientcatalyst for the asymmetric Michaeladdition of ketones and aldehydes to nitroolefins requiring only 3 mol-% catalyst loading. The reactions proceeded smoothly and gave syn selective adducts with excellent yields (up to 98 % yield), diastereoselectivity (up to >99:1 dr), and enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee) under solvent free conditions

The synthesis of both trans- and cis-diastereomers of pyrrolidinine-thioxotetrahydropyrimidinone bearing either a fluorine or a hydroxyl group was accomplished. The new compounds were tested for their catalytic properties in a variety of asymmetric organic transformations and compared with the first generation catalyst. It was found that the new catalysts could efficiently catalyze the reactions in
