中文摘要：

Two chiral guanidines were evaluated as catalysts for the reaction of anthrone (1) with N-methylmaleimide (2). When guanidine 5 was used, the Michael adduct 4 was isolated as a major product. The best enantioselectivity (70% ee) was obtained when the reaction was carried out in THF at - 20℃.
