Kinetic Resolution of a Planar–Chiral [2.2]Paracyclophane via Michael Addition to Nitroolefins Catalyzed by N‐Terminal Guanidinylated Helical Peptide

Kinetic resolution of 4‐(2‐nitrovinyl)[2.2]paracyclophane based on N‐terminal–guanidinylated resin–bound helical peptide catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition of malonate esters was developed. This approach provides a new pathway to enantiopure paracyclophane derivatives characterized by both planar and central chirality, along with the recovery of the chiral substrate with a selectivity factor of up to 111. Additionally, the synthetic potential of the resulting products has been showcased through their successful transformation into derivatives of β‐substituted γ‐aminobutyric acid.
