Hyperbranched Polyamines: Tunable Catalysts for the Henry Reaction

Abstract

Hyperbranched polyethylenimine derivatives were successfully employed as catalyst in the Henry reaction. The nitroalcohol products were obtained in excellent yields within short reaction times. A one-pot synthesis of β-nitrostyrenes was developed by using ZnCl₂ along with hyperbranched polyethylenimine derivatives.

Key words

Henry reaction - diastereoselectivity - polyamine - homogeneous catalysis - β-nitrostyrene
