eng	Henry reaction catalyzed by new series of 5-tert-butyl-2-(pyridine-2-yl)imidazolidine-4-one Cu-complexes	The aim of this work was preparation of 5-tert-butyl-2-(pyridine-2-yl)imidazolidine-4-one derivatives and their corresponding Cu(II) complexes. These compounds were studied as enantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric Henry reaction of various aldehydes with nitromethane. It was found the 5-tert-butyl derivatives are effective catalysts for this reaction, with enantiomeric excesses being as high as 97%. The enantioselectivities of individual derivatives are different and depend on the alkyl substituents attached to stereogenic centres and the configuration of imidazolidine-4-one cycle. The enantiocatalytic activity of most efficient derivative is comparable with the best so far known enantioselective catalysts of the Henry reaction.
