(Chemical equation presented) Nitro versus nitro: 4-Nitro-5- styrylisoxazoles were used as masked α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids in the titled catalytic asymmetric transformation. The 4-nitroisoxazole core acts as an activator of the conjugated alkene and a latent carboxylate functionality. The reaction proceeded with 5 mol% of a readily prepared phasetransfer catalyst at room temperature with remarkable diastereo- and enantioselectivity (see scheme).
