Organocatalytic Michael addition of alkoxyacetaldehyde 1 to N‐protected 2‐nitroethene‐1‐amine 2 ( Scheme 2 ) is a key step in the synthesis of an important antiviral agent, oseltamivir. Screening of a large array of structurally diverse acids as potential promoters led to the identification of several useful acidic additives for this reaction ( Tables 1–4 ). Also other reaction parameters were investigated with the aim of improving the diastereoselectivity of the Michael addition, while maintaining high enantiomer purity and yield ( Tables 5 and 6 ).
