The first enantioselective Michael reaction of β-aryl-α-ketophosphonates and nitroalkenes has been brealized by using a new bifunctional Takemoto-type thiourea catalyst. The primary Michael adducts obtained were converted in situ to the corresponding amides through the aminolysis. High yields, excellent diastereoselectivities (>95:5 dr), and good enantioselectivities (up to 81% ee) have been achieved for the corresponding α ,β-disubstituted γ-nitroamides. This reaction againdemon strated that α- ...[more]
