derived from N-methyl-C1-tetrahydro-1,1′-bisisoquinolines (R)-1b and Cu(I)Cl promoted the diastereoselective Henry reaction of nitroethane with a series of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. The nitroalcohol adducts were obtained in excellent yields (up to 95%), moderate anti-selectivity (up to 2.6:1), and good enantioselectivity (up to 92% ee) without any special precautions to exclude moisture or air
diastereoselective Henry reaction of various aldehydes with nitroethane was developed using the guanidine-thioureabifunctional catalyst 1 (syn selectivity of 86:14 to 99:1 with 84–99 % ee). A variety of nitroalkanes was treated with unbranched and branched aldehydes and gave nitro alcohols with high syn diastereoselectivities (90:10 to 99:1) and high enantioselectivities (85–95 % ee). This reaction was successfully
