Abstract

Abstract Image

Enantioselective organocatalytic Michael addition of aldehydes to nitroethylene catalyzed by (S)-diphenylprolinol silyl ether provides β-substituted-δ-nitroalcohols in nearly optically pure form (96−99% ee). The Michael adducts bear a single substituent adjacent to the carbonyl and can be efficiently converted to protected γ2-amino acids, which are essential for the systematic conformational studies of γ-peptide foldamers.
