Enantioselective Henry reaction catalyzed by optically active ketoiminatocobalt complexes
In the presence of a catalytic amount of optically active ketoiminatocobalt complexes, the enantioselective Henry reaction proceeded to afford beta-nitro alcohols in good-to-high yields with high enantioselectivities.
