Highly enantioselective tandem double Michael reactions catalyzed by Ni(acac)2/(+)-MINBOL complex
摘要:
An in situ prepared complex of chiral ligand (+)-MINBOL 1 and Ni(acac)(2) (12.5 mol % and 0.5 mol % respectively) can efficiently catalyze enantioselective tandem double Michael reactions. In this reaction, aryl or alkyl nitroalkenes were employed as electrophiles. The corresponding tandem adducts were obtained in good yields and with high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

An efficient asymmetric tandem dual Michael reaction that constructs three contiguous stereocenters in acyclic open-chain systems with very high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity has been developed. This protocol provides a reliable and rapid approach for synthesis of chiral pyrrolidines with multiple stereocenters.
