The blockbuster drug Pregabalin is widely prescribed for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy. Given the continuous epidemic growth of diabetes, the development of sustainable synthesis routes for Pregabalin and structurally related pharmaceutically active γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivatives is of high interest. Enantioenriched γ-nitroaldehydes are versatile synthons for the production of GABA derivatives, which can be prepared through a Michael-type addition of acetaldehyde to α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes. Here we report that tailored variants of the promiscuous enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) can accept diverse aliphatic α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes as substrates for acetaldehyde addition. Highly enantioenriched aliphatic (R)- and (S)-γ-nitroaldehydes were obtained in good yields using two enantiocomplementary 4-OT variants. Our results underscore the synthetic potential of 4-OT for the preparation of structurally diverse synthons for bioactive analogues of Pregabalin.

We report a polystyrene-incorporated chiral nickel(II)-bisdiamine complex, which is accessible on gram-scale. This metal complex functions as a heterogeneous catalyst for the enantioselective Michael addition between malonates and aliphatic nitroalkenes,

Catalytic enantioselective conjugate additions of simple alkyl groups to nitroalkenes or cyclic enones that result in the formation of tertiary C–C bonds are described. For these stereoselective addition reactions, new chiral phosphino-oxazoline ligands w
