Brucine Diol-Catalyzed Enantioselective Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction in the Presence of Brucine N-Oxide

Brucine diol (BD) catalyzed asymmetric Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction is observed for the first time. Brucine N-oxide (BNO) was found to not have an effective chiral catalyst. Faster reaction rate was obtained using unsaturated ester or aromatic aldehydes in the presence of BNO. 4-Nitrobenzald...
