β-Dicarbonyl compounds have established themselves as substrates of choice in enantioselective organocatalysis because of their easy activation. Among them, β-diketones, β-diesters, and β-ketoesters lead the dance and there has been only limited work with other β-dicarbonyl compounds as pronucleophiles. In this Synpacts article, we wish to discuss our recent contributions to the introduction of Weinreb β-ketoamides in organocatalyzed transformations, where they can provide an interesting balance between reactivity and selectivity, with also interesting potentialities in terms of postfunctionalization. 1 Introduction 2 Preparation of Weinreb β-Ketoamides 3 Michael Addition to Nitroolefins 4 Multicomponent Synthesis of Tetrahydropyridines 5 Outlook

Weinreb β-酮酰胺在对映选择性有机催化中：反应性和选择性之间的平衡

β-二羰基化合物由于易于活化，已成为对映选择性有机催化的首选底物。其中，β-二酮、β-二酯和β-酮酯领跑，其他β-二羰基化合物作为亲核试剂的研究有限。在这篇 Synpacts 文章中，我们希望讨论我们最近在有机催化转化中引入 Weinreb β-酮酰胺的贡献，它们可以在反应性和选择性之间提供有趣的平衡，在后功能化方面也具有有趣的潜力。1 引言 2 Weinreb β-酮酰胺的制备 3 硝基烯烃的迈克尔加成 4 四氢吡啶的多组分合成 5 展望
