摘要:
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 %).
