A highly enantioselective Michael addition of nitroacetates to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters was developed by using chiral copper catalysts. The Michael addition products can be obtained in high yields with up to 99 % ee. With these densely functionalized products, the chiral cyclic nitrones, which are important synthetic intermediates, can be obtained in one step.
手性铜催化剂实现了硝基乙酸酯对β,γ-不饱和α-酮酯的高对映选择性迈克尔加成。迈克尔加成产物的产率高达 99%,对映选择性高达 99%ee。利用这些官能化程度较高的产物,可以一步得到手性环状硝酮,这是重要的合成中间体。
