Organocatalytic enantio-and diastereoselective 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition between alanine-derived ketonitrones and E-crotonaldehyde: efficiency and full …
Highly enantio-and exo-selective 1, 3-dipolar cycloadditions of alanine-derived ketonitrones to E-crotonaldehyde could be realized in a good yield by the use of a chiral imidazolidinone salt without the addition of water. The origin of the stereoselectivity in the reaction was discussed and the absolute configuration of the cycloadduct determined unambiguously.
