A chiral composite material, derived from the deposition of a chiral nickel-diamine complex via wet impregnation to MCM-41, was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with nitroalkenes, and of nitromethane with alkylidenemalonates. It was discovered that MCM-41 enhanced the reactivity and improved the stability of the chiral nickel complex that resides within the mesoporous material.
