Stereoselective thio-Michael addition to chalcones in water catalyzed by bovine serum albumin
摘要:
A biomimetic, inexpensive, and simple method for the stereoselective thio-Michael addition of thiols to chalcones has been developed using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a catalyst. Optically active products are obtained in high yield and with enantiomeric excesses of up to 70%. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
