Primary-tertiary diamine-catalyzed Michael addition of ketones to isatylidenemalononitrile derivatives

Simple primary-tertiary diamines easily derived from natural primary amino acids were used to catalyze the Michael addition of ketones with isatylidenemalononitrile derivatives. Diamine 1a in combination with D-CSA as an additive provided Michael adducts in high yield (up to 94%) and excellent enant...
