    Abstract:
    A highly efficient, catalytic, diastereo- and enantioselective conjugate addition of alpha-ketoesters to nitroalkenes has been devised. The reaction was applicable to various substrates. Notably, the combination of endogenous and exogenous bases was effective, allowing a small amount of the catalyst (0.1-1 mol % Ni) to promote the reaction efficiently. The synthetic utility of this reaction was demonstrated in the synthesis of substituted pyrrolidine derivatives, whose stereochemistry is closely related to biologically important natural products such as kainic acid.
