Popis: Novel bifunctional organocatalysts bearing both a thiourea moiety and an imidazole group on a chiral scaffold were synthesized and applied to the Strecker synthesis and nitro-Michael reaction. The addition of acetone to nitroolefins in the presence of these novel bifunctional organocatalysts gave enantioselectivities (up to 87 % ee) that are superior to those generated by the proline and/or homo-proline tetrazole catalysts described in the literature.
