TL;DR: The fundamental factors contributing toward the stereoselectivity in organocatalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction between aldehydes (propanal and 3-phenyl propanal) and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) are established by using density functional theory methods.
Abstract: The fundamental factors contributing toward the stereoselectivity in organocatalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction between aldehydes (propanal and 3-phenyl propanal) and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) are established by using density functional theory methods. Three of the most commonly employed α-substituted pyrrolidine organocatalysts are examined. Several key stereochemical modes of addition between (i) a model enamine or (ii) pyrrolidine enamines derived from aldehydes and secondary amine to MVK are examined. Among these possibilities, the addition of (E)-enamine to cis-MVK is found to have a lower activation barrier. The stereochemical outcome of the reaction is reported on the basis of the relative energies between pertinent diastereomeric transition states. Moderate selectivity is predicted for the reaction involving pyrrolidine catalysts I and II, which carry relatively less bulky α-substituents dimethylmethoxymethyl and diphenylmethyl, respectively. On the other hand, high selectivity is computed in the...

TL;DR: Alkylation of enamines prepared from 2-phenylpropanal and L-proline derivatives, with methyl vinyl ketone, was successful and gave, after hydrolysis and cyclization, optically active (+)-4-methyl-4phenyl-2-cyclohexanone ((+)-IV) as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Alkylation of enamines prepared from 2-phenylpropanal and L-proline derivatives, with methyl vinyl ketone, was successful and gave, after hydrolysis and cyclization, optically active (+)-4-methyl-4-phenyl-2-cyclohexanone ((+)-IV). The effects of L-proline derivatives, solvents, and reaction temperature on the alkylation were discussed. Under selected conditions the optical yield reached about 50%. Asymmetric induction was clearly thermodynamically controlled.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that exo-and endocyclic enamines are complementary with respect to the subsequent Michael reactions since they give stereocenters with opposite configurations.

TL;DR: Transition structures for both uncatalyzed and BF3-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions involving furan and methyl vinyl ketone have been determined at the hybrid DFT (B3LYP/6-31G*) level of theory, and it is revealed that the major influence arises from the heterodiene-dienophile interaction instead of that corresponding to aBF3-dianophile interaction.
Abstract: Transition structures for both uncatalyzed and BF3-catalyzed Diels−Alder reactions involving furan and methyl vinyl ketone have been determined at the hybrid DFT (B3LYP/6-31G*) level of theory. The transition structures are predicted to be relatively concerted and highly asynchronous in all cases. A subsequent bond-order analysis has been carried out at the MP2/6-31G*//B3LYP/6-31G*. The role of the Lewis acid and the origin of the endo selectivity have been discussed in terms of the nature and number of interactions present in the four possible transition structures. The partition of the potential energy barrier has also been used to estimate the contributions of the pure deformation energy and the differential interaction between the reaction partners on passing from the ground state to the saddle point. This analysis reveals that the major influence arises from the heterodiene−dienophile interaction instead of that corresponding to a BF3−dienophile interaction.
