A chiral squaramide has been supported onto a polystyrene (PS) resin through a copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction and used as a very active, easily recoverable and highly reusable organocatalyst for the asymmetric Michaeladdition of 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds to β-nitrostyrenes. The PS-supported squaramide could be recycled up to 10 times.
motifs in organocatalysis, whereas efficient 1,3‐diamine‐derived organocatalysts are very rare. Herein we report a highly efficient camphor‐1,3‐diamine‐derived squaramideorganocatalyst. Its catalytic activity in Michaeladditions of 1,3‐dicarbonyl nucleophiles to trans‐β‐nitrostyrene derivatives provides excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee).
