Abstract
An efficient asymmetric and enantio-swithchable organocatalytic [3+3] annulation reaction using MBH-2-naphthoates of nitroalkenes and 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones has been developed. Densely substituted tetrahydropyrano[3,2-c]quinolinones scaffolds with two adjacent stereogenic centers are obtained with high yield (up to 95% yield) and good stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and 96% ee) in an enantio-switchable manner. Furthermore, gram scale synthesis was achieved and the nitro group could easily transform into an amino group without any appreciable loss in the diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
