mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for 12
h. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was
extracted with Et2O (5 mL x 2). The combined organic
layers were dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo.
The crude residue was purified by silica-gel column
chromatography to give the -deuterated -nitroalcohol 2-
dx.

Asymmetric reaction: A solution of CH3NO2 (2.5 mmol,
134 μL) and cat. 1d (5 mol%) in D2O (1 mL) was stirred at
rt for 24 h. An acylformate (7 or 13) (0.25 mmol) was
added to the reaction mixture at 0 °C and stirred for 24 h.
The reaction mixture was directly purified by silica-gel
column chromatography to produce 14-d2.
