Abstract

A useful Michael addition reaction using nitroalkanes as the nucleophile and 4-oxo-enoates as the Michael acceptor has been disclosed, and the reaction allows expedient access to functionalized chiral γ-keto esters in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee), with a low catalyst loading.
