Abstract
An unprecedented organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition of fluorine-containing carbon-centered nucleophiles to nitroolefins has been described. The process features the creation of a fluorine-containing quaternary carbon center and an adjacent chiral carbon center adducts with good to excellent level of enantioselectivity.
