Facile and highly efficient method for the C-alkylation of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone to nitroalkenes under catalyst-free ‘on water’ conditions
摘要:
C-Alkylation of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone to various nitroolefins was achieved under catalyst-free employing 'on water' conditions. The mechanism for the formation can be explained oil the basis of dual activation of nitroalkene and 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones via hydrogen bonding. Simple reaction conditions, high yields of the products, and environmentally benign medium are attractive features of this method. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The first organocatalytic enantioselective Michaeladdition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones to nitroalkenes for the direct synthesis of chiral nitroalkylated naphthoquinone derivatives was investigated. Good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) could be achieved. This organocatalyticasymmetricMichaeladdition provides an efficient route toward the synthesis of optically active
