Efficient and Highly Enantioselective Michael Addition of Aldehydes to Nitroalkenes Catalyzed by a Surfactant-type Organocatalyst in the Presence of Water

Abstract: It was found that in the presence of 20 mol % HCOOH, (S)-prolinol silyl ether organocatalyst bearing a long chain only in 2 mol % loading could catalyze the asymmetric Michael reaction of various aldehydes with trans-nitroalkenes at room temperature in the presence of water, giving the desired adducts in excellent yields with high diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee).

“…Considerable research efforts into the development of water‐compatible organocatalysts for performing organic transformations in aqueous media have been actively pursued 4. However, only limited success has so far been achieved in Michael additions of isobutyraldehyde to nitroalkenes in aqueous systems 2b,2d,2f,2i. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, no such organocatalyst possessing the unique feature of promoting these reactions both in water and in organic solvents had been reported.…”
