Asymmetric Michaeladdition reactions of aldehydes to nitroolefins have been successfully initiated by a series of primary amine thiourea bifunctional catalysts, with high enantioselectivities (90–98% ee) and excellent yields (80–96%). The privileged quinine scaffold was found to be essential to the reaction efficiency and enantioselectivity.
Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of α,α-Disubstituted Aldehydes to Nitroalkenes Organocatalyzed by Chiral Monosalicylamides from trans-Cyclohexane-1,2-Diamines
Primary amine-salicylamides derivedfrom chiral trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamines are used as organocatalysts for the enantioselective conjugateaddition of α,α-disubstituted aldehydes to arylated and heteroarylated nitroalkenes. The reaction is performed in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine as an additive in dichloromethane as a solvent at room temperature. The corresponding enantioenriched γ-nitroaldehydes
In search of diamine analogs of the α,α-diphenyl prolinol privileged chiral organocatalyst. Synthesis of diamine derivatives of α,α-diphenyl-(S)-prolinol and their application as organocatalysts in the asymmetric Michael and Mannich reactions
This paper describes improved reaction conditions for the substitution of the hydroxyl group in (S)-diphenyl(pyrrolidin-2-yl)methanol by the azide group, which was then reduced to the diamine derivative. We examined two protecting groups (N-Bn and N-Boc) on the pyrrolidine nitrogen in order to functionalize the primary amino group into various amide, alkylated amine, sulfonamide, thiourea and triazole derivatives. Notably, carefully controlled conditions were required to generate the desired derivatives from the sterically hindered benzhydrylamine moiety. Unexpectedly, upon removal of the N-protecting group in derivatives containing electrophilic polar double bonds (C=S, C=O) cyclization took place, affording products such as amidines. The target compounds were evaluated as bifunctional organocatalysts in the asymmetric Michael and Mannich addition reactions. (S)-2-(Azidodiphenylmethyl) pyrrolidine (S)-7 was identified as the most efficient organocatalyst among the various diamine derivatives of alpha,alpha-diphenyl-(S)-prolinol prepared in this work.

yrrolidines and their d-prolinamides were prepared and screened as organocatalysts for the Michael addition reaction of aldehydes with β-nitroalkenes at rt and without the use of additives. d-Prolyl-2-(trifluoromethylsulfonamidopropyl)pyrrolidine was found to be the best among the molecules studied, which yielded γ-nitro aldehydes in very high yields (up to 95%), with high diastereoselectivity (up
