The ionic liquid [bmIm]OH is a catalyst and a reaction medium for Michael
additions. Although the addition to α,β-unsaturated ketones gives the
monoaddition products, this ionic liquid always drives the reaction of
open-chain 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with α,β-unsaturated esters and nitriles
toward bis-addition.

A (-)-cinchonine modified squaramide, easily prepared through a two-step process
from methyl squarate, was shown to be an effective catalyst, even at catalyst
loadings as low as 0.1 mol%, for the conjugate addition reactions of
1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to β-nitrostyrenes. The addition products were obtained
in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

An axially chiral guanidine catalyst facilitated the highly enantioselective
1,4-addition reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with a broad range of
conjugated nitroalkenes and showed extremely high catalytic activity.

A new bifunctional catalyst bearing a thiourea moiety and an amino group was
highly efficient for the asymmetric Michael reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl
compounds to nitroolefins to afford the Michael adducts with high enantio-
and diastereoselectivity.

A Ni(II)-(bis)diamine-catalyzed, highly enantioselective Michael addition of
substituted and unsubstituted malonates and β-ketoesters to nitroalkenes
bearing aromatic and aliphatic residues has been developed.
