The highly enantioselective Michael addition of ketones to nitrodienes catalyzed by the efficient organocatalyst system of pyrrolidinyl-thioimidazole and chiral thioureido acid

Abstract

The highly enantioselective Michael addition reaction of ketones to nitrodienes was promoted efficiently by the accessible and fine-tunable organocatalytic system of pyrrolidinyl-thioimidazole and chiral thioureido acid. The corresponding adducts were afforded in good yields with high diastereoselectivities (up to 99 : 1) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).
