Calix[4]arene based chiral bifunctional thiourea-primary amines have been shown to act as effective catalysts for the Michael addition of aldehydes to maleimides for the first time. The corresponding adducts were generally obtained preferentially in (R)- or (S)-forms with high yields (up to 99%) and with high to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).

A novel class of chiral multifunctional thioureas bearing a chiral lipophilic beyerane scaffold and a primary amino group were designed and prepared. The thioureas were proven to be effective for catalyzing the asymmetric Michael addition between isobutyraldehyde and maleimides with only 0.5 mol% catalyst loading, and exhibited double asymmetric induction. Both of the catalysts afforded the corresponding adduct with high to excellent yields (up to 98%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99%). Furthermore, this catalytic system can be used efficiently in large-scale reactions with the yields and enantioselectivities being maintained at the same level. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
