Aminocatalyzed reactions of aldehydes with chiral nitroalkenes

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Chiral nitroalkenes are used for the first time in Michael additions of aldehydes, catalyzed by pyrrolidine derivatives. They yield the same major stereoisomer with either (S)-proline or (R)-proline, but this asymmetric induction does not overcome the effect of sterically more congested catalysts. Nitrocyclobutane intermediates are often formed, which are more stable than those from (E)-1-nitro-2-phenylethene. The cyclobutanes and final products were characterized by 2D NMR and chemical correlations
