Under optimal reaction conditions, these bifunctional organocatalysts showed a high catalytic efficiency (almost quantitative yield in most cases) and stereoselectivity in the Michael addition reactions of a variety of aldehydes (up to 98 : 2 dr and 97% ee) and ketones (up to 98 : 2 dr and 99% ee) to nitroolefins.2018http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/7874110.1039/c7ob02798bhttp://zaguan.unizar.es/record/78741oai:zaguan.unizar.es:78741info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E102Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry 16, 6 (2018), 924-935All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
