Abstract

A new fluorous proline-derived ligand has been synthesized and applied to the copper-catalyzed Henry reaction.The reaction conditions were optimized in terms of ligand,Cu source,solvent and base taking the reaction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and nitromethane as a model reaction.The optimized conditions are:using fluorous proline imide as ligand,copper acetate as copper source,methanol as solvent and triethylamine as base and the reaction was carried out at room temperature.A wide range of substrates were investigated under the optimized conditions and the yields of the target products varied from 53% to 98%.
