Abstract
The organocatalytic asymmetric nitro-Michael addition of aromatic ketones to nitrodiene using various chiral primary amine thioureas was described. In the presence of 30 mol% of N-[(1R,2R)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethyl]-N′-benzylthiourea, the Michael adducts were obtained in good yields and excellent enantioselectivity (94-98% ee).
Key words

General Procedure
for Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Ketone with Nitrodiene
Organocatalyst 1d (43.32 mg, 0.12 mmol) was added to a vial
containing acetophenone 3 (4 mmol) and
toluene (2 mL) at r.t. The mixture was stirred vigorously for 10
min, and then the corresponding nitrodiene 2 (0.4mmol)
was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 96 h. Then
the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by flash
silica gel chromatography (PE-EtOAc, 10:1) to afford the
corresponding product. The ee value was determined by chiral HPLC.
