Abstract
AbstractAn enantioselective Michael addition of thioacetic acid (AcSH) to nitroalkenes, catalyzed by a leucine‐derived bifunctional aminethiourea, was developed with high yields and moderate enantioselectivities. The thiourea‐ammonium salt formed in the reaction is identified as the active catalyst, and the multiple H‐bonding system is responsible for the stereocontrol. The resulting thioester products are useful intermediates for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched S‐containing compounds.
