Highly Enantioselective Michael Addition of Malonates to Nitroolefins Catalyzed by Chiral Bifunctional Tertiary Amine-Thioureas Based on Saccharides

摘要

A series of saccharide-derived bifunctional tertiary amine-thioureas for the asymmetric Michael addition reaction have been designed and synthesized. The addition products between malonates and various nitroolefins were obtained in high yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).
