Michaeladditions of alpha-nitroesters with enones and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes result in quantitative conversions to the corresponding 1,4-adducts by performing the reactions in water in the presence of ytterbiumtriflate as water-tolerant Lewis acid.

conjugate addition of α‐alkyl substituted α‐nitroacetates to phenyl vinyl selenone was developed. The resulting enantio‐enriched α,α‐dialkyl substituted α‐nitroacetates were subsequently converted to various cyclic and acyclic quaternary α‐amino acids, taking advantage of the rich functionalities of the resulting Michael adducts. Novel protocols allowing chemoselective reduction of phenyl selenone to

AbstractWe have developed a procedure for the stereoselective and diastereodivergent synthesis of densely functionalised cyclohexanes containing four stereocentres through an asymmetric Michael‐initiated ring closure (MIRC) cascade reaction employing hydrogen‐bond catalysis, which is able to prepare adducts with different absolute configurations starting from the same starting materials. The overall process involves a highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective Michael/Henry cascade reaction between a wide range of nitroalkenes and α‐nitro‐δ‐oxo esters, allowing access to different diastereoisomers of the final adduct by introducing subtle changes in the general (R,R)‐configured bifunctional tertiary amine/squaramide catalyst structure. Moreover, this methodology is also amenable to a three‐component one‐pot procedure, leading to the formation of the same adducts with very good results directly from commercially available reagents, on a multigram scale, and employing a very low catalyst loading. Furthermore, a detailed experimental and computational study is described which shows the origin of the diastereodivergent behaviour of these structurally similar catalysts and the nature of the substrate–catalyst interaction.magnified image

Conjugate additions of carbon nucleophiles to appropriate acceptor molecules were investigated with respect to the synthetic potential and stereochemistry of the products. Reactions of short-chain alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and mono-substituted nitroalkenes with CH-acidic carboxylic ester derivatives were catalyzed by various immobilized lipases. Using methyl nitroacelate complete conversion with methyl vinyl ketone and trans-beta-nitrostyrene was obtained. The reactions proceeded without enantioselectivity. Evidence for enzyme catalysis is provided by the observation that after denaturation of Candida antarctica lipase B or inhibition no reaction took place. Docking studies with the chiral addition product rnethyl 2-methyl-2-nitro-5-oxoliexatioate did not reveal any specific binding mode for this reaction product, which would have been the requirement for stereoselective additions. These results support the experimental findings that the conjugate addition takes place without enantiopreference. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
