Abstract
By example of conjugate addition of 2-nitropropane to 2-cyclohexen-1-one, it is shown that the combination of H-Leu-His-OH and (1R ,2R )-(+)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine as co-catalysts in a suitable ratio can lead to a new catalytic system for the C-C bond formation reactions. Although neither co-catalyst is sufficiently effective independently in terms of yield or enantioselectivity, their combination results in a drastic increase in yields (up to 86%) and absolute selectivities (up to 91% ee).

General Procedure for the Michael Reaction: 2-Nitro-propane (0.63 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 3 and washed with diluted aq HCl (3%). The organic layer was dried with Na2 SO4 and filtered, and the solvents were evaporated. The residues were purified by column chromatography on SiO2 (hexane-EtOAc) to afford the desired product. The ee of the product was determined by chiral HPLC analysis (Daicel Chiralpak AS) in comparison with authentic racemic material: n -hexan-2-propanol = 80:20, flow rate 1 mL/min, λ = 210 nm: t
R1 = 28.44 min, t
R2 = 30.31 min. 1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3 ): δ = 2.48-2.34 (m, 3 H), 2.31-2.21 (m, 1 H), 2.19-2.08 (m, 2 H), 1.85-1.76 (m, 1 H), 1.71-1.53 (m, 1 H), 1.58 (s, 3 H), 1.57 (s, 3 H), 1.48-1.34 (m, 1 H) ppm. 13 C NMR (150.8 MHz, CDCl3 ): δ = 208.9 (C=O), 90.6 (Cquat. ), 46.5 (CH), 42.6 (CH2 ), 40.7 (CH2 ), 25.9 (CH2 ), 24.3 (CH2 ), 23.3 (CH3 ), 22.5 (CH3 ) ppm. ESI-MS (positive ion): m/z = 208.1 [M + Na]+ .
