Michael nitro

For example, an effective procedure for the synthesis of LLB (where LL = lanthanum and lithium) is treatment of LaCls 7H2O with 2.7 mol equiv. BINOL dilithium salt, and NaO-t-Bu (0.3 mol equiv.) in THF at 50 °C for 50 h. Another efficient procedure for the preparation of LLB starts from La(0-/-Pr)3 [54], the exposure of which to 3 mol equiv. BINOL in THF is followed by addition of butyllithium (3 mol equiv.) at 0 C. It is worthy of note that heterobimetallic asymmetric complexes which include LLB are stable in organic solvents such as THF, CH2CI2 and toluene which contain small amounts of water, and are also insensitive to oxygen. These heterobimetallic complexes can, by choice of suitable rare earth and alkali metals, be used to promote a variety of efficient asymmetric reactions, for example nitroaldol, aldol, Michael, nitro-Mannich-type, hydrophosphonylation, hydrophosphination, protonation and Diels-Alder reactions. A catalytic asymmetric nitroaldol reaction, a direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction, and a catalytic asymmetric nitro-Mannich-type reaction are discussed in detail below. 

In addition, a four-component domino Michael/nitro-Mannich/lactamization reaction was recently developed by Dixon et al. [286]. It occurred between a... 

Later, the same group succeeded in achieving a cascade Michael/nitro-Mannich/ acetalization reaction by the combination of covalent enamine catalysis and noncovalent bifunctional base/Br0nsted acid catalysis [32]. The fuUy substituted piperidines with diverse substitution patterns were prepared efficiently starting from simple aliphatic aldehydes, Ts-protected imines, and trani -P-nitro alkenes (Scheme 9.36). This finding effectively incorporated prolinol silyl ether-catalyzed Michael addition of aldehyde 65 to nitroalkene 75 and valine-derived bifunctional thiourea-mediated nitro-Mannich reaction of y-nitro aldehyde 106 to imine 105 in the cascade process, providing a complementary contribution to the well-known single catalyst-promoted triple cascade reactions and two catalyst-promoted reaction cascades. 

Michael condensations are catalyzed by alkaU alkoxides, tertiary amines, and quaternary bases and salts. Active methylene compounds and aUphatic nitro compounds add to form P-substituted propionates. These addition reactions are frequendy reversible at high temperatures. Exceptions are the tertiary nitro adducts which are converted to olefins at elevated temperatures (24). 

These reversible reactions are cataly2ed by bases or acids, such as 2iac chloride and aluminum isopropoxide, or by anion-exchange resias. Ultrasonic vibrations improve the reaction rate and yield. Reaction of aromatic aldehydes or ketones with nitroparaffins yields either the nitro alcohol or the nitro olefin, depending on the catalyst. Conjugated unsaturated aldehydes or ketones and nitroparaffins (Michael addition) yield nitro-substituted carbonyl compounds rather than nitro alcohols. Condensation with keto esters gives the substituted nitro alcohols (37) keto aldehydes react preferentially at the aldehyde function.

Another important feature of the Nef reaction is the possible use of a CH-NO2 function as an umpoled carbonyl function. A proton at a carbon a to a nitro group is acidic, and can be abstracted by base. The resulting anionic species has a nucleophilic carbon, and can react at that position with electrophiles. In contrast the carbon center of a carbonyl group is electrophilic, and thus reactive towards nucleophiles. 1,4-Diketones 4 can for example be prepared from a-acidic nitro compounds by a Michael additionfNef reaction sequence " ... 

Dehydration of fi-nitro iilcohols provides an important method for the preparation of nitroalkenes. Because lower nitroalkenes such as nitroethylene, Tnitro-Tpropene, and 3-nitro- Tpropene tend to polymerize, they must be prepared careftdly and used immediately after preparation. Dehydration v/ith phthalic anhydride is the most reliable method for such lower nitroiilkenes. Such lower nitroalkenes have been used as important reagents for Michael acceptors or dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reacdon, which v/ill be...
