Abstract
5-Aryl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one heterocycles derived from mandelic acid derivatives and hexafluoroacetone have been identified as new and effective pro-nucleophiles in highly diastereo- and enantioselective Michael addition reactions to nitro olefins catalyzed by bifunctional epi-9-amino9-deoxy cinchona alkaloid derivatives. Diastereoselectivities up to 98% and enantioselectivities up to 89% for a range of nitro olefins and 5-aryl-1,3-dioxolan-4-ones under mild reaction conditions are reported.
