Enantioselective Michael addition of malononitrile to chalcones catalyzed by a simple quinine–Al(OiPr)3 complex: a simple method for the synthesis of a chiral 4H-pyran derivative
Enantioselective Michael addition of malononitrile to chalcones was catalyzed by a simple quinine and Al(O(i)Pr)(3) complex and products were obtained in good ee as well as high yields, which facilitated the asymmetric synthesis of a biologicallyactive 4H-pyran compound.
conjugate addition of malononitrile to trans-chalcones has been investigated as a case study using easily available α,α-L-diaryl prolinols as promoters. Both experimental and computational results are consistent with a bifunctional noncovalent mode of activation of the reactive partners, provided by the secondary amine and hydroxyl groups of the promoter as generalbase and acid catalysis.

丙二腈与反式查耳酮的对映选择性共轭加成已作为案例研究,使用容易获得的 α,α-L-二芳基脯氨醇作为促进剂。实验和计算结果都与反应伙伴的双功能非共价活化模式一致,由作为一般碱和酸催化的促进剂的仲胺和羟基提供。这种最能负担得起的途径预测了 R 型加合物的主要形成,这与实验结果一致。本研究首次解决了脯氨酸衍生物通过非共价催化辅助产物形成的能力,类似于金鸡纳生物碱的典型作用模式。

Peptides of the type H-Pro-Pro-Xaa-NH2 were evaluated as catalysts for conjugate additionreactions of acetophenones to cyanoolefins. Tripeptide H- d -Pro-Pro-Glu-NH2 with a carboxylic acid moiety in the side chain of Xaa was identified as a catalyst that provides γ,γ-dicyanoacetophenones in yields of up to 90% and stereoselectivies of up to 88:12 er.
Chloramphenicol base chemistry. Part 11: 1 chloramphenicol base-derived thiourea-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of malononitrile to α , β -unsaturated ketones
The first chloramphenicol base-derived thiourea-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of malononitrile to alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones is reported. The Michael adducts were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 98% yield) and enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee). This reaction has a broad substrate scope to various alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. With this in mind, this methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of a chiral piperidone, an advanced building block for dihydropyridinone P2X(7) receptor antagonists.
