C5’‐Nitro‐dihydroquinine (Q1), prepared from dihydroquinine (HQ), exhibited high catalytic activity in an asymmetric Michael reaction. The nitro group at the C5’ position of Q1 was vertically fixed to the quinoline ring, as confirmed by X‐ray crystallography. Q1 exerted a high level of asymmetric induction, superior to that of the non‐nitrated HQ catalyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
