The conjugate addition of Ni(II) complexes of glycine Schiff base to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by (S)-2-(diphenyl(trimethylsilyloxy)methyl)pyrrolidine afforded adducts in excellent yields with up to 49:1 dr and 95% ee. This method enables the construction of two adjacent chiral centers in one step, and offers an alternative route to chiral α-amino acid derivatives.
(S)-2-(二苯基(三甲硅基)甲氧基)吡咯烷催化甘氨酸席夫碱的 Ni(II)配合物与α,β-不饱和醛的共轭加成以高达 49:1 的 dr 和 95%的 ee 提供了极好收率的加合物。该方法能够在一步中构建两个相邻的手性中心，为手性α-氨基酸衍生物提供了另一种途径。
