Peptide-based catalysts have been developed that promote the asymmetric Michael addition of nitroalkanes. The most effective peptides contain a β-turn structural element as well as a basic histidine and an arylsulfonamide-protected arginine. Excellent yields with enantioselectivities of up to 74% ee have been observed.
