The first enantioselective Michael reaction of beta-aryl-alpha-ketophosphonates and nitroalkenes has been realized by using a new bifunctional Takemoto-type thiourea catalyst. The primary Michael adducts obtained were converted in situ to the corresponding amides through the aminolysis. High yields, excellent diaste-reoselectivities (>95:5 dr), and good enantioselectivities (up to 81% ee) have been achieved for the corresponding oc,13-disubstituted gamma-nitroamides. This reaction again demonstrated that alpha-ketophosphonates are interesting pronucleophiles that can be used as amide surrogates in organocatalyzed reactions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
