摘要
Michael addition reaction of alpha-branched aldehydes to beta-nitroacrylates was successfully carried out by using a mixed catalyst consisting of a primary amino acid, L-phenylalanine, and its lithium salt to give beta-formyl-beta'-nitroesters having a quaternary carbon centre in good yields (up to 85%) with high enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). By using benzyl beta-nitroacrylates as Michael acceptors, the obtained beta-formyl-beta'-nitroesters were converted into various 4,4-disubstituted pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids including analogues of gabapentin (Neurotin(R)) in one step from the Michael adducts in high yields.
