Enantioselective organocatalytic Michael addition of isorhodanines to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes

Org Biomol Chem. 2016 Apr 28;14(16):3926-33. doi: 10.1039/c5ob02457a. Epub 2016 Apr 4.

Abstract

The Michael reaction of substituted isorhodanines with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of a chiral secondary amine is presented. This transformation proceeds in good to high yields furnishing the corresponding 4,5-disubstituted isorhodanine adducts in good to excellent enantioselectivities.
