A new bifunctional organocatalyst with a novel structural and functional motif has been developed. This bifunctional sulfonamide organocatalyst was used in the conjugate addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (13) to β-nitrostyrenes (12). Yields up to 91% and enantiomeric excesses up to 79% were obtained in this reaction. This catalyst activates both 13 via its basic moiety and 12 through hydrogen bonding. ...[more]
