Abstract
An organocatalytic asymmetric domino Michael/alpha-alkylation reaction between enals and non-stabilized alkyl halides has been developed. Chiral secondary amine catalyzed cyclization reaction of 1-bromo-3-nitropropane with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes provides 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopentane carbaldehydes with high diastereo- (dr up to 8 : 1) and enantioselectivities (ee up to 96 %).
