To elucidate the mechanistic details and especially the origins of the observed high enantio- and diastereoselectivities, computational chemists have contributed dramatic efforts in this important area. This review covers the recent computational studies on the cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed asymmetric Michael additions, including both C-C and C-S bond formations, to present a general viewpoint of these fruitful advances. Based on the types of bond formation and the cinchona alkaloid catalysts, key information regarding the activation model and the origins of enantioselectivities is discussed.展开更多

The reactions led to chiral r-amino carbonyl compounds in high yields and good enantiose-lectivities. The study demonstrated for the first time that Mannich reactions of unmodified acetylacetone with het-erocyclic imine derived from benzothiazole can be promoted by chiral bifunctional organocatalyst.展开更多
