Expeditious diastereoselective construction of a thiochroman skeleton via a cinchona alkaloid-derived catalyst

Org Biomol Chem. 2012 Jan 7;10(1):36-9. doi: 10.1039/c1ob06497e. Epub 2011 Oct 4.

Abstract

An example of diastereoselective and enantioselective synthesis of thiochroman derivatives through a sulfa-Michael-Michael cascade sequence is disclosed. This is a significant complement of the quinine-thiourea catalyzed sulfa-Michael-Michael cascade reaction. The densely functionalized target thiochromans were obtained in high diastereoselectivities, and with high to excellent enantioselectivities.
