Highly enantioselective Michael addition reactions with new trimeric chiral phase transfer catalysts

Abstract

New types of mesitylene based tri-site containing asymmetric quaternary ammonium salts 9a and 9b have been prepared and used as efficient chiral phase transfer catalysts for enantioselective Michael addition reactions between the chalcones and diethylmalonate under mild reaction conditions such as lower concentration of base, catalyst and ultrasonic conditions with very good chemical yields (up to 98%) and ee's (up to 99%).
