UR - https://doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.8.78 KW - asymmetric catalysis KW - Michael addition KW - 1,4-naphthoquinones KW - nitroalkenes KW - organocatalysis N2 - The highly enantioselective Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones to nitroalkenes, promoted by binaphthyl-modified chiral bifunctional organocatalysts is described. This reaction afforded the chiral functionalized naphthoquinones in high yields (81–95%) and excellent enantioselectivities (91–98% ee) under low catalyst loading (1 mol %). ER -
