Significance
The new di(methylimidazole)prolinol silyl ether (1), a water soluble organocatalyst, was found to efficiently promote the conjugate addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins in aqueous solution. The reaction between aliphatic aldehydes and aromatic nitroalkenes in brine in the presence of 1 and sodium bicarbonate gave the corresponding Michael adducts in moderate to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (er up to 99.5:0.5).
