Abstract
An asymmetric direct doubly vinylogous Michael addition has been developed for the generation of sterically congested vicinal quaternary and tertiary stereocenters. This doubly vinylogous Michael addition of β,γ-unsaturated butenolides to 3-methyl-4-nitro-5-alkenyl isoxazoles, powered by a bifunctional squaramide, affords a broad range of densely functionalized enantioenriched γ,γ-disubstituted butenolides in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities in most cases. Moreover, the strategy highlights the first application of β,γ-unsaturated butenolides in an asymmetric 1,6-conjugate addition.
