Abstract
The chiral RhI-diene-catalyzed asymmetric three-component reaction of aryldiazoacetates, aromatic amines, and β-nitroacrylates was achieved to obtain γ-nitro-α-amino-succinates in good yields and with high diastereo-and enantioselectivity. This reaction is proposed to proceed through the enantioselective trapping of RhI-associated ammonium ylides by nitroacrylates. This new transformation represents the first example of RhI-carbene-induced ylide transformation.
