The enantioselective Henry reaction between alkyl- and arylglyoxal hydrates and nitromethane catalyzed by Cu(II)-iminopyridine complexes takes place regioselectively on the ketone carbonyl group to give chiral tertiary nitroaldols with high functional group density and enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %. Both aromatic and aliphatic glyoxals are suitable substrates for this reaction.
