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).
Several nitrogen-containing graphene-derived materials have been obtained using DBU and DMF as nitrogen sources, and further employed as heterogeneous catalysts.
Probing α‐Amino Aldehydes as Weakly Acidic Pronucleophiles: Direct Access to Quaternary α‐Amino Aldehydes by an Enantioselective Michael Addition Catalyzed by Brønsted Bases
The high tendency of α‐amino aldehydes to undergo 1,2‐additions and their relatively low stability under basic conditions have largely prevented their use as pronucleophiles in the realm of asymmetric catalysis, particularly for the production of quaternary α‐amino aldehydes. Herein, it is demonstrated that the chemistry of α‐amino aldehydes may be expanded beyond these limits by documenting the first

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
Chiral (thio)phosphorodiamides as excellent hydrogen bond donor catalysts in the asymmetric Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquione to nitroolefins
A novel type of bidentate hydrogenbonddonor catalysts based on (thio)phosphorodiamides catalophore has been developed for the asymmetric Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquione to nitroolefins, affording the corresponding adducts in high yields with excellent level of enantioselectivities (97- >99% ee).
