The conjugate addition of symmetrical 2-nitroalkanes to 2-cycloalkenones catalyzed by trans-4,5-methano-L-proline proceeds with > 99% ee and excellent chemical yields. 1-Nitroalkanes afford diastereomeric syn/anti products that can be separated with good individual enantioselectivities. Proline hydroxamic acid and its trans-4,5-methano-L-proline hydroxamic acid are also effective organocatalysts in the addition of 2-nitropropane to 2-cyclohexenone (75% and 81% ee, respectively).
Asymmetric conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to enones with a chiral α-aminophosphonate catalyst
Chiral diethyl (2R)-tetrahydropyrro-2-ylphosphonate is an effective catalyst for the Michael addition of nitroalkanes to alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. This Study revealed that the hydrate salt of this alpha-aminophosphonate was found to be a better catalytic species. Moderate to high enantioselectivities were achieved in reactions that tolerate various nitroalkanes and enones in the presence of low loading of both catalyst ( 10 mol %) and bulk base (25 mol %).
