The enantioselectiveconjugateaddition of a variety of ketones to nitroolefins has been developed. The process is efficiently catalyzed by a novelbifunctionalsulfonamideprimary amine in good yields and with good levels of enantioselectivity.
A series of secondaryamine-thioureacatalysts 1a-1d derived from L-proline and chiral diamine were prepared and successfully applied to the Michael addition of acetone to trans-nitroalkenes in excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (44-91% ee).
