One aspect of the present invention relates to quinine-based and quinidine-based catalysts. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of preparing a derivatized quinine-based or quinidine-based catalyst comprising 1) reacting quinine or quinidine with 5 base and a compound that has a suitable leaving group, and 2) converting the ring methoxy group to a hydroxy group. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing a chiral, non-racemic compound from a prochiral electron-deficient alkene or azo compound or prochiral aldehyde or prochiral ketone, comprising the step of: reacting a prochiral electron-deficient alkene or azo compound or prochiral aldehyde or prochiral 10 ketone with a nucleophile in the presence of a catalyst; thereby producing a chiral, non racemic compound; wherein said catalyst is a derivatized quinine or quinidine. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of kinetic resolution, comprising the step of reacting racemic chiral alkene with a nucleophile in the presence of a derivatized quinine or quinidine.

The development of readily accessible bifunctional chiral catalysts is a desirable yet challenging goal in catalytic asymmetric synthesis. In this communication, we describe the development of a new class of readily accessible chiral bifunctional organic catalysts that could be derived in one or two steps in high yield from either quinidine or quinine. These catalysts have been shown to catalyze a highly enantioselective conjugate addition of methyl and ethyl malonates and β-ketoesters to a broad range of β-substituted nitroalkenes, an synthetically important C-C bond-forming reaction utilizing readily available starting materials. This new catalytic asymmetric reaction proceeds in 91-98% ee and 71-99% yield. Copyright
