Abstract

Abstract A series of stable acyclic aminals derived from L-(+)-aspartic acid were synthesized in excellent yields (up to 96%) and characterized by spectroscopic methods. They were applied as enantioselective catalysts in Henry reactions of nitromethane with various aldehydes in the presence of Cu(II) ions, affording the corresponding adducts in high yields (up to 90%) and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee).
