Zhong, Jun published the artcileA novel organocatalyst for direct asymmetric Michael additions of cyclohexanone to nitroolefins, Category: nitriles-buliding-blocks, the publication is Catalysis Communications (2013), 18-22, database is CAplus.
A novel catalyst combining pyrrolidinyl and cyclohexanediamine was designed and synthesized. Only 5 mol% of catalyst loading was required for enantioselective Michael additions of cyclohexanone and nitroolefins affording desired γ-nitroketones with > 99% yield, up to 91% ee and up to > 99/1 dr under mild conditions. The enantioselectivity of the product could be further improved to > 99% ee after a single recrystallization in petroleum ether/ethyl acetate.
Catalysis Communications published new progress about 5153-73-1. 5153-73-1 belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Nitrile,Alkenyl,Nitro Compound,Benzene, name is (E)-4-(2-Nitrovinyl)benzonitrile, and the molecular formula is C20H28B2O4S2, Category: nitriles-buliding-blocks.
