The First Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Catalytic Nitro-Mannich Reaction: A New Entry to Chiral Vicinal Diamines

Abstract
The first example of an enantioselective and diastereoselective catalytic nitro-Mannich reaction using a second-generation heterobimetallic complex has been developed. The corresponding nitro-Mannich products were obtained in up to 83% ee with a dr up to 7 : 1.
