Abstract

The first method for highly efficient asymmetric Michael-type Friedel-Crafts alkylation of naphthol and unsaturated pyrazolones has been accomplished under mild reaction conditions. In the presence of the chiral squaramide catalyst, a wide range of substrates are tolerated in excellent yields (up to 99%) with reasonable enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee).
