Reductive Knoevenagel Condensation with the Zn-AcOH System
Ivanov, Konstantin L.,Melnikov, Mikhail Ya.,Budynina, Ekaterina M.
, p. 1285 - 1291 (2020/11/13)
An efficient gram-scale one-pot approach to 2-substituted malonates and related structures is developed, starting from commercially available aldehydes and active methylene compounds. The technique combines Knoevenagel condensation with the reduction of the C=C bond in the resulting activated alkenes with the Zn-AcOH system. The relative ease with which the C=C bond reduction occurs can be traced to the accepting abilities of the substituents in the intermediate arylidene malonates.
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE 4-NITRO-BUTANOIC ACID ESTER AND PREGABALIN
-
Paragraph 0040, (2017/12/27)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for producing optically active pregabalin with low number of reaction steps and low cost, as well as to provide a process for producing optically active 4-nitro-butanoic acid ester for use in said process. SOLUTION: Provided is a process for producing optically active 5-methyl-3-nitromethyl-2-alkoxycarbonyl-hexanoic acid alkyl ester by reacting dialkyl malonate and 4-methyl-1-nitro-1-pentene in the presence of a chiral catalyst containing a pyridine bisoxazoline derivative and calcium oxide; and a process for producing pregabalin using the present production process.

Hydroxy-L-prolines as asymmetric catalysts for aldol, Michael addition and Mannich reactions
Al-Momani, Lo'ay A.
experimental part, p. 101 - 111 (2012/05/20)
The hydroxyprolines (Hyps) 2-6 are tested as organocatalysts for aldol, Michael additions, and Mannich reactions. The results are compared with the well-known analogous L-proline (1).The effect of the additional hydroxyl group and chiral center was invest
