Abstract

The design and synthesis of a heterogeneous bifunctional chiral catalyst for the sequential aerobic oxidation-asymmetric Michael reactions between primary allylic alcohols and dibenzyl malonate are described. Interestingly, we found that layering bimetallic nanoparticles over the organocatalyst, within the chiral composite material, is crucial for catalytic activity.
