Catalytic Enantioselective Addition of Nitro Compounds to Imines—A Simple Approach for the Synthesis of Optically Activeβ-Nitro-α-Amino Esters

Abstract
The catalytic and asymmetric nitro‐Mannich reaction of nitro compounds to α‐imino esters catalyzed by chiral bisoxazoline–copper complexes [Eq. (1); Pg = protecting group] gave β‐nitro‐α‐amino esters with excellent diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities. The reactions can be performed under ambient conditions.
