摘要
An efficient organocatalytic methodology has been developed to perform the stereoselective addition of 2-carboxythioesters-1,3-dithiane to nitroalkenes. Under mild reaction conditions gamma-nitro-beta-aryl-alpha-keto esters with up to 92% ee were obtained, realizing a formal catalytic stereoselective conjugate addition of the glyoxylate anion synthon. The reaction products are versatile starting materials for further synthetic transformations; for example, the simultaneous reduction of the nitro group and removal of the dithiane ring was accomplished, allowing the preparation of a GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen.
