Abstract
A chiral bifunctional multiple hydrogen-bonding-donor amine-thiourea catalyzes a highly anti-selective and enantioselective nitro-Mannich reaction for a broad spectrum of substrates. Multiple hydrogen-bonding donors play a significant role in accelerating reactions and improving yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities.
