Rani, Dixita published the artcileAsymmetric Michael Addition of Unactivated Ketones with β-Nitrostyrenes Mediated by Bifunctional L-Prolinamide Organocatalysts, Formula: C9H6N2O2, the publication is ChemistrySelect (2020), 5(8), 2435-2440, database is CAplus.
The catalytic activity of two types of L-prolinamide organocatalysts was investigated for asym. Michael addition reaction of cyclic/acyclic ketones with β-nitrostyrens. L-Prolinamides bearing amino groups as efficient catalyst as well as selectivity was found to be dependent upon the position of amine group to the amide bond. Organocatalyst having -NH2 group ortho to amide bond provided the best results. Substrate scope was also studied by performing the reaction of various β-nitrostyrenes with ketones to afforded the corresponding Michael adducts in excellent yields with very high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities in almost all cases.
