Abstract
Abstract The asymmetric synthesis of 4-nitrocyclohexanone derivatives has been accomplished by enantioselective double Michael additions of γ,δ-unsaturated β-ketoesters to nitroalkenes using a catalytic amount of bifunctional thiourea and TMG. The three contiguous stereogenic centers of the obtained products were constructed with good to high diastereoselectivity and up to 92% ee. The biologically active natural product, (−)-epibatidine, has been synthesized from the intermediate 11a in seven steps in 30% overall yield.
