derived from N-methyl-C1-tetrahydro-1,1′-bisisoquinolines (R)-1b and Cu(I)Cl promoted the diastereoselective Henry reaction of nitroethane with a series of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. The nitroalcohol adducts were obtained in excellent yields (up to 95%), moderate anti-selectivity (up to 2.6:1), and good enantioselectivity (up to 92% ee) without any special precautions to exclude moisture or air

A series of chiral binaphthyl-containing diphenylethylenediamine (binaph-dpen) ligands was designed and synthesized for the copper-catalyzed asymmetric Henry reaction. The N-monobenzyl (S)-binaph-(R,R)-dpen ligand, with a secondaryamine portion, promoted the Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed Henry reaction with excellent enantioselectivity in an anti-selective manner.
A complex derived from the enantiomeric bipiperidine and copper(II) acetate hydrate is an efficient catalyst for the enantioselective Henry reaction. The easy availability of both catalyst components, mild reaction conditions, high yield, and good to excellent enantioselectivity make the catalyst useful for everyday practice.
