Catalyst self-adaptation in conjugate addition to nitroalkenes and nitroacrylates: instant chirality control in diphenylmethane-based phosphoramidite ligands.
The tropos diphenylmethane-based phosphoramidite ligand (A) provides high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in the Cu catalysis of conjugate addition to nitroalkenes and nitroacrylate, by virtue of instant chirality control in A.
