The mechanism of cinchona–squaramide organocatalytic Michael addition was studied usingin situIR and NMR experiments. As a result, not only kinetic parameters were determined but a stereoselective retro-Michael reaction was also observed.

Herein, we report a chiral bifunctional thiourea catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition reaction between 2-(trifluoromethyl)oxazol-5(2H)-one as a direct C-2-position nucleophile to 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles for the first time.

The first organocatalytic asymmetric Michael reaction between α-branched enones namely 1-acetylcyclohexene, 1-acetylcyclopentene and 1-acetylcyclobutene with nitroolefins has been developed using primary amines as catalysts.

AbstractEnantiopure Boc-protected piperidine derivative (+)-5c, with a quaternary stereocenter, was obtained by copper-catalyzed, L-valine diethylamide-mediated Michael reaction. For determination of the absolute configuration, 5c was derivatized by cyclization with pyrrolidine/AcOH to give compound 6 with bicyclo[4.4.0]-constitution, deprotection of the amino function with TFA and subsequent reaction with 2-iodobenzoic acid to yield the crystalline bicyclic amide 7. X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed the constitution of compounds 5c and 6 and established the (R) configuration of 7. Thus, starting Michael addition product (+)-5c has to be (S) configured, because an epimerization at the quaternary stereocenter is excluded. This result is in accordance with our working model of the Cu-catalyzed, auxiliary-assisted Michael reaction.

Functionally substituted sulfones with stereogenic centers are valuable reagents in organic synthesis and key motifs in some bioactive compounds. The asymmetric Michael addition of β-ketosulfones to conjugated nitroalkenes in the presence of Ni(II) complexes with various chiral vicinal diamines was studied. This reaction provides convenient access to non-racemic 4-nitro-2-sulfonylbutan-1-ones with two stereocenters with high yield and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99%). It has been established that the catalytic Michael reaction itself was carried out with high diastereoselectivity, but the Michael adducts may epimerize at the C-2 position at a significant rate. Conditions for the preparation of individual diastereomers were found.

AbstractThe ocean is a net source of N2O, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting agent. However, the removal of N2O via microbial N2O consumption is poorly constrained and rate measurements have been restricted to anoxic waters. Here we expand N2O consumption measurements from anoxic zones to the sharp oxygen gradient above them, and experimentally determine kinetic parameters in both oxic and anoxic seawater for the first time. We find that the substrate affinity, O2 tolerance, and community composition of N2O-consuming microbes in oxic waters differ from those in the underlying anoxic layers. Kinetic parameters determined here are used to model in situ N2O production and consumption rates. Estimated in situ rates differ from measured rates, confirming the necessity to consider kinetics when predicting N2O cycling. Microbes from the oxic layer consume N2O under anoxic conditions at a much faster rate than microbes from anoxic zones. These experimental results are in keeping with model results which indicate that N2O consumption likely takes place above the oxygen deficient zone (ODZ). Thus, the dynamic layer with steep O2 and N2O gradients right above the ODZ is a previously ignored potential gatekeeper of N2O and should be accounted for in the marine N2O budget.
