C3-symmetricchiraltrisimidazoline was designed and synthesized as a new entry of organocatalyst with the concept of constructing C3-symmetric molecules with three C2-symmetric chiral components, and the application of this novel catalyst to asymmetric conjugate addition of β-ketoesters to nitroolefins was described.
Asymmetric Michaeladdition of β-ketoesters with trans-β-nitroolefins using chiral amino amide organocatalyst was tried and afforded synthetically useful chiral Michael adducts in both excellent c...

C3-Symmetric chiral trisimidazoline: the role of a third imidazoline and its application to the nitro Michael reaction and the α-amination of β-ketoesters
We describe the necessity of the C-3-symmetry and the role of a third imidazoline of trisimidazoline 3, which was recently developed by us as a new entry of organocatalyst. The utility of 3 as a Bronsted base catalyst in the nitro Michael reaction and the alpha-amination of beta-ketoesters was shown, and the re-cyclability of the catalyst was also demonstrated.
