Bridging between organocatalysis and biocatalysis: asymmetric addition of acetaldehyde to β-nitrostyrenes catalyzed by a promiscuous proline-based tautomerase.

Exploiting catalytic promiscuity: The proline-based enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) promiscuously catalyzes asymmetric Michael-type additions of linear aldehydes--ranging from acetaldehyde to octanal--to trans-β-nitrostyrene in aqueous solvent. The presence of 1.4 mol% of 4-OT effected formation of the anticipated γ-nitroaldehydes in fair

A convenient and efficient way for the highly diastereoselective synthesis of beta-substituted-alpha,gamma-diaminobutyric acids and pyrrolidines containing multichiral centers has been well-developed. Michael addition of chiral tricyclic iminolactones 1 and 2 to nitroalkenes afforded the adducts in good yields (up to

(S)-Proline-catalyzed nitro-Michael additions of aldehydes and ketones to β-nitrostyrene were investigated computationally (MP2/6-311+G**//M06-2X/6-31G**). Contrary to what is usually assumed in organocatalysis, the lowest-energy transition states of proline-catalyzed nitro-Michael reactions do not necessarily involve the carboxylic acid group of the proline

Serendipitous switch: While exploring cis-nitrostyrene as a potential electrophile in Michael-type addition reactions catalysed by the enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT), it was unexpectedly found that 4-OT catalyses the isomerisation of cis-nitrostyrene to trans-nitrostyrene (k(cat) /K(m) = 1.9×10(3)  M(-1)  s(-1) ).
