Significance
An organocatalytic Michael reaction of thiols and nitroacrylates was described. Using 9-thiourea cinchona alkaloid catalyst 1, enantioenriched products 2 were obtained via Michael reaction. These products are valuable precursors for β²,²-amino acids. The authors also carried out the synthesis of α-thiol-β ²,²-amino acids using their conjugate addition product and obtained the product without loss of er.
