Recoverable PEG-supported copper catalyst for highly stereocontrolled nitroaldol condensation

Org Lett. 2007 May 24;9(11):2151-3. doi: 10.1021/ol070636w. Epub 2007 May 5.

Abstract

A new poly(ethylene glycol)-modified DAT2-Cu(OAc)2 complex smoothly catalyzes a base-free nitroaldol condensation in a highly enantioselective manner (ee up to 93%) also in reagent-grade solvent and in the presence of air. Effective recovery and recycling (up to five runs) of supported catalysts are documented.
