Perfluoroalkanesulfonamide organocatalysts for asymmetric conjugate additions of branched aldehydes to vinyl sulfones

Molecules. 2013 Nov 25;18(12):14529-42. doi: 10.3390/molecules181214529.

Abstract

Asymmetric conjugate additions of branched aldehydes to vinyl sulfones promoted by sulfonamide organocatalyst 6 or 7 have been developed, allowing facile synthesis of the corresponding adducts with all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in excellent yields with up to 95% ee.
