Abstract
Chiral complex derived from N-methyl-C 1-tetrahydro-1,1′- bisisoquinolines (R)-1b and Cu(I)Cl promoted the diastereoselective Henry reaction of nitroethane with a series of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. The nitroalcohol adducts were obtained in excellent yields (up to 95%), moderate anti-selectivity (up to 2.6:1), and good enantioselectivity (up to 92% ee) without any special precautions to exclude moisture or air.
