Stereoselective Addition of Chiral Oxazoline Cyanocuprates to Conjugated Nitroalkenes

Chiral oxazoline cyanocuprates were prepared and added to conjugated nitroalkenes. Stereoselectivity up to 80% was achieved with the cuprate prepared from the chiral oxazoline derived from (S)- Phenylalaninol. Keywords: Chiral 2-oxazolines, cuprates, nitroalkenes, stereoselective addition
