Catalysts’ evolution in the asymmetric conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to electron-poor alkenes
Roberto Ballini, Alessandro Palmieri, Marino Petrini
Abstract
This review provides a journey of the catalyst usage for the enantioselective conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to electron-poor olefins from the early attempts to the latest achievements. Selected applications are also reported.
