Enantioselective Henry reaction catalyzed by a novel L-(+)-aspartic acid-derived Schiff base ligand and Cu(II) ion

WOS: 000292738500004Mild and efficient enantioselective Henry reactions of nitromethane with various aldehydes were catalyzed by a novel L-(+)-aspartic acid-derived Schiff base ligand in the presence of Cu(II) ions, affording the corresponding adducts in high yields (up to 96%) and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee).Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [107T778]We are grateful to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) for its financial support (Project Number 107T778).
