AbstractA diaminomethylenemalononitrile (DMM) organocatalyst was used to efficiently promote asymmetric conjugate addition of various α-cyanoketones to benzoyl acrylonitrile derivatives. The corresponding 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds containing vicinal tertiary and quaternary stereogenic centers are versatile synthetic intermediates and were obtained in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). The present study describes the first successful examples of asymmetric conjugate addition reactions of α-cyanoketones with benzoyl acrylonitriles. In addition, the DMM organocatalyst can be recovered and reused up to five times without significant loss of either catalytic activity or enantioselectivity.

Optically active tertiary aminonaphthol ligands were obtained by a new, convenient procedure and were found to catalyze the enantioselective alkenyl and phenyl transfer to aldehydes in high yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses (ee's). The catalytic asymmetric introduction of alkynyl functionality to α-amino acid derivatives was realized by the direct addition of terminal alkynes to α-imino ester in the presence of chiral copper(I) complex under mild reaction conditions.
