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).
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

Prolinal dithioacetals: Highly efficient organocatalysts for the direct nitro-Michael additions in both organic and aqueous media
Some novel prolinal dithioacetal derivatives have been synthesized and applied as the organocatalysts for the direct Michaeladdition of ketones and aldehydes to nitroalkenes. High enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities have been obtained in both organic and aqueous media (dichloromethane, water, or brine).
