A new series of Schiff bases derived from Cinchona alkaloids were developed as chiral ligands for the copper(II)-catalyzed asymmetricHenry reaction. The optimized catalyst can promote the Henry reaction of both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with nitromethane or nitroethane. Those reactions can afford the chiral β-nitro alcohol adducts with high enantioselectivities.
The steric and electronic properties of chiral Schiff base ligands derived from cinchona alkaloids were evaluated in asymmetric Henry reactions. Amongst these, the stericallyhindered ligand 2 showed outstanding catalytic efficiency in the Cu(II) catalyzed asymmetric addition of nitroalkanes to a variety of aldehydes to afford the desired adducts in high yields (up to 97%) with excellent enantioselectivities

Chiral tetraaminophosphonium salts 1 possessing the phosphorus-centered [5.5]-spirocyclic core have been designed and synthesized in a single step from L-valine-derived diamine. The three-dimensional molecular structure was successfully verified by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which also identified a secondary interaction between the phosphonium cation and chloride ion via double hydrogen-bonding. The potential of this novel onium salt as a chiral organic molecular catalyst has been demonstrated in an application to asymmetric direct Henry reaction.

A new approach to both enantioenriched Henry products is developed by use of different molecularities of metal-ligand complexes generated from Cu(I) and Zn(II) metals with readily available chiral amino alcohol 1.

Trip henylphosphine in combination with methyl acrylate was found to be able to catalyze the Henry (nitroaldol) reaction of various aldehydes and alpha-keto esters to give the corresponding beta-nitroalkanols in good to excellent yields, and a catalytic cycle involving a zwitterionic phosphine-alkene adduct was proposed for this dual-reagent organocatalysis according to the deuterium-labeling experiments with CD3NO2.
