Popis: Michael addition of methyl vinyl ketone 2 to 2-nitrocycloalkanones 1 catalyzed by the Cinchona alkaloid cinchonine 3 affords adducts in high chemical yields in up to 60% enantiomeric excess. The configuration of the products depends on the ring size. Absolute configuration of (−)-2-nitro-2-(3-oxobutyl)cyclooctanone and (+)-2-nitro-2-(3-oxobutyl)cyclododecanone derivatives were determined by X-ray diffraction.
