A highly enantioselective Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone to β-nitrostyrenes has been achieved using a novel class of sugar-Cinchona thiourea conjugates. The method offers significant advantages such as low catalyst loading (1 mol%), high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee), short reaction times and ambient reaction conditions.
A novel, recyclable, thiourea‐based asymmetric organocatalyst containing a hydrophobic anchor has been developed. The chemical nature of the hydrophobic anchor contributes to the desirable characteristics of the recyclable catalyst. The hydrophobic anchor‐tagged thioureacatalyst is highly soluble in less polar solvents, which is compatible with amino thioureacatalyst‐mediated asymmetric reaction

A polystyrene (PS) supported bifunctional squaramide organocatalyst promotes fast Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone to nitroalkenes with very high enantioselectivities at low catalyst loadings. The polystyrene supported catalyst can be recycled up to 10 times without any decrease in enantioselectivity (average 96% ee) and adapted to continuous flow operation (24 h). A single flow experiment involving six different nitroalkenes in a sequential manner highlights the applicability of this methodology for rapid access to chemical diversity.

A set of BINOL-quinine-squaramides were synthesized, and then used as organocatalysts to promote the catalytic enantioselective Michael addition reaction of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone to nitroalkenes with excellent yields and ees (up to 99% yield and 93% ee) at low catalyst loading (0.5 mol %).
