Michael addition of α-nitrosulfones to aryl- and alkyl acrylates and acrylamides proceeds in the presence of 5–10 mol% of an amino acid derived new organocatalyst to provide γ-tetrasubstituted γ-nitro-γ-sulfonyl carboxylates and amides in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Scale-up of the reaction to multi-grams, convenient recovery of the catalyst and its recyclability without any drop in
Chiral bifunctional squaramide catalyzed asymmetric tandem Michael-cyclization reaction: efficient synthesis of optically active 2-amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile derivatives
We have developed an efficient bifunctional squaramide catalyst for the asymmetric tandem Michael addition-cyclization of malononitrile to functionalized nitroolefins. This organocatalytic asymmetric reaction provides convenient and valuable access to highly functionalized 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives, which possess important biological activities, in good yields with moderate to high enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee).
