Abstract
Enantioenriched substituted succinimides are interesting compounds, and their asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis by the conjugated addition of ketones to maleimides has been scarcely explored. This study shows the enantioselective conjugate addition of ketones to maleimides organocatalyzed by a simple primary amine-salicylamide derived from a chiral trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, which provides the desired succinimides in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) and with moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99%).

Abstract
Thiourea was introduced into (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine as an organocatalyst to promote the reaction between isobutyraldehydes and maleimides. Enantioselective Michael addition reaction was carried out as an eco-friendly method using water as the solvent. As a result of the reaction between isobutyraldehyde and maleimide, ≥97% yield and 99% enantioselectivity were obtained at a low catalyst loading of 0.01 mol%. The solvent effect can be explained by theoretical calculations that indicate the participation of a transition state, in which the CF3 substituent of the catalyst is a hydrogen bond activated by the surrounding water molecules. This discovery enabled the use of low catalyst loading in the organic reactions of chiral substances for pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, a solvent effect for Michael reaction of the organocatalysts was proposed, and the organic reaction mechanisms were determined through quantum calculations.

Organocatalysis for the Asymmetric Michael Addition of Aldehydes and α,β-Unsaturated Nitroalkenes. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Michael addition is an important reaction because it can be used to synthesize a wide range of natural products or complex compounds that exhibit biological activities. In this study, a mirror image of an aldehyde and α,β-unsaturated nitroalkene were reacted in the presence of (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEN). Herein, thiourea was introduced as an organic catalyst, and a selective Michael addition reaction was carried out. The primary amine moiety of DPEN reacts with aldehydes to form enamines, which is activated by the hydrogen bond formation between the nitro groups of α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes and thiourea. Our aim was to obtain an asymmetric Michael product by adding 1,4-enamine to an alkene to form a new carbon–carbon bond. As a result, the primary amine of the chiral diamine was converted to an enamine. The reaction proceeded with a relatively high degree of enantioselectivity, which was achieved using double activation via hydrogen bonding of the nitro group and thiourea. Michael products with a high degree of enantioselectivity (97–99% synee) and diastereoselectivity (syn/anti = 9/1) were obtained in yields ranging from 94–99% depending on the aldehydes.

Abstract
![]()
The synthesis of
four fluorescent diastereoisomeric molecular cages
containing cyclotriveratrylene and sucrose moieties connected via the naphthalene linkers is reported. These diastereoisomers
were found to be selective and efficient receptors for acetylcholine
and choline. Compound P-5a has a better
affinity for choline over acetylcholine, while cage M-5a exhibits a higher association constant for acetylcholine
over choline. The highest selectivity value was observed for compound M-5a (KACh/KCh = 3.1). Cages P-5a, P-5b, M-5a, and M-5b were fully characterized
by the advanced NMR techniques, and ECD spectroscopy was supported
by DFT calculations. The binding constants Ka of these receptors were determined by fluorescence titration
experiments in acetonitrile.

Abstract
We describe the application of a novel family of trisulfonamide (TSA) calix[6]arenes in general acid catalysis. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between acidic TSA and methanol boosted the reactivity of the Michael addition of indoles to nitroalkene derivatives. The transformation occurs at a low catalyst loading of 5 mol%, allowing for the synthesis of nitroalkanes with good yields and functional group tolerance.

Abstract
A one-pot, base-catalyzed, tandem grinding process involving carrying out aldol condensation and Michael addition in sequence to produce 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles from 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole, aromatic aldehydes and activated methylene compounds has been developed. In the presence of 10 mol% of pyrrolidine, aldol condensations of 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole with various aromatic aldehydes were performed with 3-10 minutes of grinding to provide 5-styryl-3-methyl-4-nitroisoxazoles in good to quantitative yields without further purification. Then, Michael additions between 5-styryl-3-methyl-4-nitroisoxazoles and activated methylene compounds (including ethyl 2-nitroacetate and alkyl 2-cyanoacetates) were carried out in the presence of 10 mol% of Et3N in the same mortar with 3-5 minutes of continuous grinding to produce 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles in good to excellent yields.

The reaction was performed in toluene as a solvent at room temperature. The corresponding enantioenriched adducts were obtained with high yields and enantioselectivities up to 94%. Theoretical calculations were used to justify the stereoinduction.
