Abstract

Put a nickel in it: Azaarylacetates and acetamides, which have been neglected as substrates in catalytic asymmetric synthesis, undergo highly enantioselective Michael additions to nitroalkenes in the presence of a chiral nickel(II)-bis(diamine) complex (see scheme; Bn=benzyl, MS=molecular sieves). This process is tolerant of a wide variety of azaarenes in the pronucleophile.
