A [La(OTf)(3)] complex with a new pyBOX ligand bearing a bulky 1-naphthylmethyl substituent at the 4'-position of the oxazoline ring catalyzes the conjugate addition of nitro-alkanes to a broad range of (E)-2-azachalcones, providing the expected nitro-Michael products with good yields and enantiomeric excesses up to 87%. The optical purity of the products can be increased by a single crystallization. A plausible stereochemical model to account for the observed stereochemistry has been proposed.
