title: Diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of alpha,beta-disubstituted gamma-nitro methyl sulfonates.
abstract: A novel asymmetric synthesis of highly enantioenriched homotaurine precursors has been developed via diastereo-selective Michael addition of lithiated enantiopure sulfonates to nitroalkenes by using 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-allofuranose as chiral auxiliary.
