The First Catalytic Asymmetric Nitro-Mannich-Type Reaction Promoted by a New Heterobimetallic Complex

Abstract
The best ratio is 1:1:3 for the components Yb, K, and binaphthol in the new heterobimetallic complex, which efficiently catalyzes an asymmetric nitro‐Mannich‐type reaction. The desired nitro‐Mannich products 2 are obtained with up to 91 % ee starting from N‐phosphinoyl imines 1.
