Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) A new bifunctional binaphthyl-derived amine thiourea organocatalyst has been developed to promote enantioselective Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of cyclohexenone with a wide range of aldehydes. The process, catalyzed by the amine thiourea, affords synthetically valuable chiral allylic alcohol building blocks in high yields and high enantioselectivities.
