Popis: A series of new thiourea catalysts prepared from natural amino acids have been applied in organocatalytic asymmetric Michael additions of α-nitrocyclohexanone to nitroalkenes. The resulting addition products are formed with excellent enantioselectivities (up to an er of 98:2) in good yields (up to 90%).
