The reaction is applied to a wide range or aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and proceeds with moderate to good diastereoselectivities.
Enantioselective Henry addition of methyl 4-nitrobutyrate to aldehydes. Chiral building blocks for 2-pyrrolidinones and other derivatives.
2010
A catalytic highly enantioselective Henry addition of methyl 4-nitrobutyrate to aldehydes using a Cu(II)-amino pyridine complex as catalyst is described. The products resulting from this reaction constitute a new, highly versatile family of chiral building blocks as a result of the presence of three different functional groups on the molecule. These products have been transformed into nonracemic chiral gamma-lactams, 5-hydroxy-5-substituted levulinic acid derivatives, and delta-lactones.
