HIGHLY ENANTIOSELECTIVE MICHAEL ADDITION OF THIOLS TO 2-CYCLOHEXENONE BY USING (2S,4S)-2-(ANILINOMETHYL)-1-ETHYL-4-HYDROXYPYRROLIDINE AS A CHIRAL CATALYST

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1981.165

Optically active 3-arylthiocyclohexanones are produced in good optical yields by treating 2-cyclohexenone with aryl thiols in the presence of (2S,4S)-2-(anilinomethyl)-1-ethyl-4-hydroxypyrrolidine as a chiral catalyst.
