Highly Enantioselective Hydrogenation of β,β‐Disubstituted Nitroalkenes

Abstract

Building the building blocks: A highly enantioselective hydrogenation of β-aryl-β-alkyl disubstituted nitroalkenes 1 has been developed. This method results in enantiomerically pure nitroalkanes 2, which are versatile precursors for chemical synthesis.
