Focusing on Organocatalytic Asymmetric Michael Addition of Ketones to α, β-unsaturated Nitro Compounds
An "(R, R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine(DPEN) derivative" organic catalyst was formed as a chiral bifunctional organocatalyst and applied to transβ-nitroalkene compounds under neutral conditions for asymmetric Michael additions of aromatic ketones. High chemical yield and enantioselectivity (ee) are given by the isopropyl-substituted neutral
