Abstract

The enantioselective Michael addition reaction of malonates to α,β-unsaturated ketones is efficiently promoted by a combined dual-catalyst system composed of chiral thiourea and 4-pyrrolidinopyridine (PPY) in toluene. The expected Michael adducts with cyclic and acyclic enones are obtained in excellent yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.
