Proline-Catalyzed Enantioselective Michael Additions of Ketones to Nitrostyrene

Abstract
Proline-catalyzed Michael additions of ketones to nitrostyrene were examined to obtain optically active γ-nitro ketones. The catalytic asymmetric 1,4-additions afforded the desired γ-nitro ketones in medium to excellent yields and up to 97% de of the syn-diastereomers and 76% ee.
