On the mechanism of bifunctional squaramide-catalyzed organocatalytic michael addition: A protonated catalyst as an oxyanion hole

A joint experimental-theoretical study of a bifunctional squaramide-amine-catalyzed Michael addition reaction between 1,3-dioxo nucleophiles and nitrostyrene has been undertaken to gain insight into the nature of bifunctional organocatalytic activation. F

New bifunctional 1,3-diamine organocatalysts derived from (+)-camphoric acid for asymmetric Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroolefins

Novel 1,3-diamine-derived bifunctional thiourea and squaramide organocatalysts were synthesized from (+)-camphoric acid. These catalysts were easily obtained in up to two to five synthetic steps, in a flexible approach that facilitates their structure variation. Their catalytic activity was examined in the asymmetric Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to several trans-β-nitrostyrenes. Yields up to 98% and enantiomeric excesses up to 74% and high diastereoselectivities when applicable (dr up to 93:7) were obtained in these reactions showing that 1,3-diamine-derived bifunctional thioureas are efficient organocatalysts.

Asymmetric 1,4-Addition Reactions Catalyzed by N-Terminal Thiourea-Modified Helical l-Leu Peptide with Cyclic Amino Acids

N-terminal thiourea-modified l-Leu-based peptide {(3,5-diCF3Ph)NHC(=S)-(l-Leu-l-Leu-Ac5c)2-OMe} with five-membered ring α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids (Ac5c) catalyzed a highly enantioselective 1,4-addition reaction between β-nitrostyrene and dimethyl malonate. The enantioselective reaction required only 0.5 mol % chiral peptide-catalyst in the presence of iPr2EtN (2.5 equiv.), and gave a 1,4-adduct with 93 % ee of an 85 % yield. As Michael acceptors, various β-nitrostyrene derivatives such as methyl, p-fluoro, p-bromo, and p-methoxy substituents on the phenyl group, 2-furyl, 2-thiophenyl, and naphthyl β-nitroethylenes could be applied. Furthermore, various alkyl malonates and cyclic β-keto-esters could be used as Michael donors. It became clear that the length of the peptide chain, a right-handed helical structure, amide N?Hs, and the N-terminal thiourea moiety play crucial roles in asymmetric induction.

Enantioselective organocatalytic Michael reactions using chiral (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine-derived thioureas

Although the Michael addition is a very well-known and widely applied reaction, cost-effective, metal-free, and readily prepared organic catalysts remain rare. A chiral, bifunctional, (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine-derived thiourea organic catalyst was

Simple primary β-amino alcohols as organocatalysts for the asymmetric Michael addition of β-keto esters to nitroalkenes

Simple primary β-amino alcohols act as an efficient organocatalysts in the asymmetric Michael addition of β-keto esters with nitroalkenes affording highly pure chiral Michael adducts. Also, both enantiomers of the adducts were obtained, depending on the specific catalyst used and reaction temperature.

2-Azanorbornane-Based Amino Alcohol Organocatalysts for Asymmetric Michael Reaction of β-Keto Esters with Nitroolefins

New optically active 2-azanorbornane-based amino alcohol organocatalysts were designed and synthesized, and these catalysts were successfully employed in the asymmetric Michael reaction of β-keto esters with nitroolefins to obtain the corresponding chiral

Amino amide organocatalysts for asymmetric michael addition of β-Keto esters with β-nitroolefins

Asymmetric Michael addition of β-keto esters with trans-β-nitroolefins using chiral amino amide organocatalyst was tried and afforded synthetically useful chiral Michael adducts in both excellent chemical yields (up to 99%) and stereoselectivities (up to dr. 99:1, up to 98% ee).

Sugar based γ-amino alcohol organocatalyst for asymmetric Michael addition of β-keto esters with nitroolefins

Sugar based γ-amino alcohol was used in asymmetric Michael addition of β-keto esters with nitroolefins for the first time affording the corresponding several chiral Michael adducts bearing quaternary chiral carbon center in moderate to good chemical yields and stereoselectivities (up to 98%, up to dr. 95:5, up to 84% ee).

A homodinuclear cobalt complex for the catalytic asymmetric Michael reaction of β-ketoesters to nitroolefins

A homodinuclear Co2/aminophenol sulfonamide complex has been developed for the asymmetric Michael reaction of β-ketoesters with nitroolefins. This procedure is capable of tolerating a wide range of substrates and excellent results (up to 99% yield, >99: 1 dr and 98% ee) can also be obtained. Moreover, the reaction could be carried out on a 50 mmol scale without any decrease in the enantioselectivity and reactivity. On the basis of the results of mechanistic studies, we proposed that the Co2/2a complex would be the active species and a possible catalytic cycle was described.

A Recyclable Hydrophobic Anchor-Tagged Asymmetric Amino Thiourea Catalyst

A novel, recyclable, thiourea-based asymmetric organocatalyst containing a hydrophobic anchor has been developed. The chemical nature of the hydrophobic anchor contributes to the desirable characteristics of the recyclable catalyst. The hydrophobic anchor
