Abstract
Ni(acac)2 and Ni(salicylaldehydate)2 are effective catalysts for conjugate additions of 2-methyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to Michael acceptors. Significant diastereomeric excesses are obtained in the Michael additions of enantiopure N-acetoacetyl-4-benzyloxazolidinones. Reaction of the latter compound with aryl isocyanates affords unsymmetrical diamides of malonic acid.
