Chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes, derived from amino acids containing a pyridine ring, are effective ligands in the enantioselective copper-catalyzed addition of diethylzinc to beta-nitroalkenes, which provides access to chiral nitroalkanes. The advantages of this process include high yields, broad and complementary substrate scope, and good to high enantioselectivities. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
