A series of new modular bifunctional chiral thiourea organocatalysts were synthesized from natural Cinchona alkaloids and amino acids, and their performance in the aza-Henry reaction of nitroalkanes to imines, the Michael addition of acetylacetone to nitroolefins and the Michael addition of acetone to nitroolefins was investigated. Under the mild conditions, the important building blocks beta-nitro amines and gamma-nitro carbonyl compounds could be obtained in good yields (up to 95%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and diastereoselectivity (up to 17:1).
