Abstract
A new efficient catalyst system for the asymmetric addition of acetylacetone to nitroolefins using a chiral bifunctional organocatalyst bearing multiple hydrogen-bonding donors was developed. When using the organocatalyst 2c derived from natural cinchona alkaloid in optimal conditions, up to 98% chemical yield and 98% ee were observed with a variety of aromatic nitroolefins.
