Abstract

Solvent-Free Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of Malonates to Enones Using a Diaminomethylenemalononitrile Organocatalyst. -The optically active diamine title catalyst efficiently promotes the conjugate addition of malonates to enones to give the corresponding addition products in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. -(HIRASHIMA, S.-I.; SAKAI, T.; NAKASHIMA, K.; WATANABE, N.; KOSEKI, Y.; MUKAI, K.; KANADA, Y.; TADA, N.; ITOH, A.; MIURA*, T.; Tetrahedron Lett. 55 (2014) 31, 4334-4337, http://dx.
