Organocatalytic asymmetric michael and cyclization reactions involving electron deficient olefins

Abstract

The works described in the thesis involved organocatalytic Michael and cyclization reactions Cinchona derived catalysts were highlighted in this context since these catalysts were very easy to prepare The first two chapters documents the asymmetric Michael addition reaction between 206 177 branched enones and electron deficient olefines 1 Acetylcyclohexene 1 acetylcyclopentene and 1 acetylcyclobutene have been used in the enantioselective organocatalytic Michael addition reactions to nitroolefin
