Ephedrine-derived bifunctional thioureas have been synthesized and applied as organocatalysts in Michael additions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroalkenes.
Novelbifunctionalchiralsquaramide–amine organocatalysts have been developed by rational combination of pyrrolidine and a cinchona alkaloid. The catalysts promoted the enantioselective Michael addition of both mono- and diketones to a broad range of nitroalkenes providing the corresponding products in moderate to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities (up to 96%
motifs in organocatalysis, whereas efficient 1,3‐diamine‐derived organocatalysts are very rare. Herein we report a highly efficient camphor‐1,3‐diamine‐derived squaramideorganocatalyst. Its catalytic activity in Michaeladditions of 1,3‐dicarbonyl nucleophiles to trans‐β‐nitrostyrene derivatives provides excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee).

dominant platform for hydrogen bond promoted asymmetric catalysts. A large number of reactions, reported in scores of publications, have been successfully promoted by chiral thioureas. The present paper reports the use of squaramides as a highly effective new scaffold for the development of chiral hydrogen bond donor catalysts. Squaramide catalysts are very simple to prepare. The (-)-cinchonine modified
Chiral phosphoric acid as organocatalyst for the diastereo- and enantioselectivity 1,4-conjugate addition of a variety of β-ketoesters to nitroolefins was firstly developed, providing the corresponding adducts in high yield (up to 97%) with moderate diastereoselectivities (up to 2.6:1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 58% ee).
