A rosin-derived bifunctional squaramide catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition of malononitrile with chalcones was discovered. This protocol provides a methodology for the facile synthesis of chiral γ-cyano carbonyl compounds in high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and 90% ee) with a lower catalyst loading (0.3 mol%). The predominant R-configured adducts were obtained by this organocatalystic reaction, according to the experimental findings.

AbstractA new tertiary amine-squaramide organocatalyst has been developed and applied to the asymmetric Michael addition of cyclic diketones to β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters. The catalyst system performed well with a low catalyst loading of 1 mol% under mild reaction conditions. A series of synthetically and pharmaceutically useful chiral bicyclic compounds were obtained in high yields (up to 97%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee). Furthermore, this catalytic system can be used efficiently in large-scale reactions with the yields and enantioselectivities being maintained.

3-Alkylindoles on reaction with a cyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one catalyzed by BF3·OEt2 gave the corresponding 3-alkyl-3-arylindolenines in high yields through a tandem Michael addition/aromatization sequence. In the presence of HCl, these indolenine derivatives underwent a facile Plancher-type C-3 to C-2 aryl rearrangement to deliver the corresponding 2-arylindoles.

The highly enantioselective Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones to nitroalkenes, promoted by binaphthyl-modified chiral bifunctional organocatalysts is described. This reaction afforded the chiral functionalized naphthoquinones in high yields (81–95%) and excellent enantioselectivities (91–98% ee) under low catalyst loading (1 mol %).

We report a highly efficient asymmetric Michael addition of dithiomalonates to trans-β-nitroolefins catalyzed by versatile cinchona-based bifunctional thioureas, which provides the corresponding adducts in high yields (up to 92%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions. Replacement of the catalyst with its pseudo-enantiomer gives the Michael adducts with opposite configuration in similar yields and enantioselectivities.

Indole is one of the utmost important heterocycles as it is an essential nucleus of many pharmaceutical compounds. Its aza-Michael reaction, however, is underdeveloped because of the moiety’s inherent characteristics. Here, a potassium hydroxide catalysed intermolecular aza-Michael reaction of 3-cyanoindole with aromatic enones is described. A variety of chalcone derivatives are well tolerated and afford the corresponding N-adducts in moderate to high yields. The use of a cheap catalyst, low catalyst loading, mild reaction temperature, and good substrate tolerance make this procedure a direct and facile method for the preparation of N1-functionalized indoles.
