Abstract

A highly enantioselective Michael addition reaction of anthrone with nitroalkenes by chiral tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine catalysts was investigated as a novel topic. The stereoselective conversion progressed smoothly by employing 10 mol% of the catalyst and afforded the corresponding Michael adducts with acceptable to high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee) and very high yields (up to 96%).
