Enantioselective synthesis of cis-decalins using organocatalysis and sulfonyl Nazarov reagents

Molecules. 2015 Apr 10;20(4):6409-18. doi: 10.3390/molecules20046409.

Abstract

The first organocatalytic synthesis of cis-decalins using sulfonyl Nazarov reagents is reported. The Jørgensen's catalyst directs this highly enantioselective synthesis using different cyclohexenal derivatives.
