Abstract

The cinchona-based primary amine-catalyzed enantioselective aza-Michael reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with 4,5-dihalo-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitriles as the N-centered heteroaromatic nucleophile, followed by chemoselective reduction provided the corresponding chiral aza-Michael products in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (90-97% ee).
