Abstract

This article is a continuation of our previous research on the catalytic capability of chiral copper complex based on commercially available (S)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine and 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde with various counter-anions in the asymmetric Henry reaction. Our findings indicate that depending on the type of base used, chiral nitroalcohols with yields up to 97% and ee values up to 78%, as well as β-nitrostyrenes with yields up to 82% can be produced. Additionally, it has been found that the outcome of the reaction and the catalytic properties of copper(II) complexes (S)-Cu1 and (S)-Cu2 are influenced by the structure of the aldehyde used.
