Abstract

The chiral ligand synthesized from L-diphenylvalinol and salicylaldehyde is found to catalyse the asymmetric Henry reaction with copper(II)acetate monohydrate. Various nitroaldols were formed with 77-95% ee and good yield. The mechanism for the formation of a particular enantiomer is also discussed. The enantioselection in the formation of the chiral nitroaldol is discussed in terms of steric bulkiness of the catalytic system.
