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.
Six active 4-aryl-5-nitro-pentan-2-ones were synthesized enantioselectively from the corresponding 5-aryl-butenones by asymmetric Michael addition of nitromethane using an imidazolidine-type enantioselective organocatalyst. The ee ratio of the products were between 67 and 100%, determined by HPLC with Chiracel OD. Molecular and crystal structure of 3,4-methylenedioxy-phenyl-5-nitro-pentan-2-one has

A cinchona alkaloid derived primary amine catalyzed conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to enones is described. The process affords the Michael adducts in good yield and with up to 99% ee for both acyclic and cyclic enones.
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).
