The theoretical study is presented for the Michael addition reaction between trans-1-nitro-2-phenylethylene and 2-methylpropionaldehyde catalyzed by (9S)-9-amino-6'-methoxy-10,11-dihydrocinchonan (9-epi-DHQDA) and benzoic acid. All structures, including the reactants, intermediates, transition states and products were optimized. Transition states have been confirmed by the corresponding vibration analysis and intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC). In addition, nature bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecules (AIM) theories have been used to analyze orbital interactions and bond natures. Calculations indicate that the benzoic acid might undergo a proton step to the 9-epi-DHQDA to produce the iminium intermediate. Then the iminium serves as a reactive acceptor to participate in the subsequent nucleophilic addition. Next, a proton transfer process from the tertiary amine to nitronate carbon is found to be rate-determining step, and the enantioselectivity of the catalyzed Michael reaction is also controlled by this step. Finally, one water molecule participates in hydrolysis and C=O bond formation, and results in the formation of product and recovery of catalyst.
