摘要

Efficient Cinchona-derived chiral 2-aminobenzimidazole catalysts were prepared by the coupling of 5,7-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-chlorobenzimidazole with C(9S)-aminodihydroquinine or C(9R)-aminodihydroquinidine and successively applied to the Michael addition of dimethyl malonate to nitroolefins as very efficient chiral Lewis acid bifunctional organocatalysts (up to > 99% ee).
