core scaffold were synthesized and examined as catalysts for the asymmetricMichael addition reaction of aryl/alkyl trans-β-nitrostyrenes over cyclohexanone and other Michael donors having active methylene. Excellent enantioselectivities (<95%), diastereoselectivities (<99%), and yields (<99%) were attained undersolvent free conditions using 10 mol% of 1d0. The obtained results were explained through
Highly enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition of cyclohexanone to nitroolefins catalyzed by a chiral glucose-based bifunctional secondary amine-thiourea catalyst
A novel bifunctional thiourea bearing a saccharide-scaffold and a secondary amino group was synthesized, and was proven to be an effective organocatalyst for the asymmetric Michael reaction of cyclohexanone to both aryl and alkyl nitroolefins. The corresponding adducts were obtained with excellent diastereo- (up to >99/1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).
