Bifunctional Iminophosphorane‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Nitroalkane Addition to Unactivated α,β‐Unsaturated Esters **

Abstract: Herein we describe the enantioselective intermolecular conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to unactivated α,β‐unsaturated esters, catalyzed by a bifunctional iminophosphorane (BIMP) superbase. The transformation provides the most direct access to pharmaceutically relevant enantioenriched γ‐nitroesters, utilizing feedstock chemicals, with unprecedented selectivity. The methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope, including β‐(fluoro) alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl substituted electrophiles, and was successfully applied on a gram scale with reduced catalyst loading, and, additionally, catalyst recovery was carried out. The formal synthesis of a range of drug molecules, and an enantioselective synthesis of (S)‐rolipram were achieved. Additionally, computational studies revealed key reaction intermediates and transition state structures, and provided rationale for high enantioselectivities, in good agreement with experimental results.
