title: Catalyhtic asymmetric Henry reactions--a simple approach to optically active beta-nitro alpha-hydroxy esters.
abstract: The development and potential of a catalytic enantioselective Henry reaction of nitromethane with various alpha-keto esters catalyzed by chiral bisoxazoline-copper(II) complexes are presented.
