Abstract
An organocatalytic domino thia-Michael/ aldol condensation reaction of α, β-unsaturated aldehydes with 1, 4-dithiane-2,5-diol catalyzed by chiral diphenylprolinol TMS ether has been developed, which provides a new practical and direct route to chiral dihydrothiophenes with high yields (up to 90%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to>99% ee). The catalytic mechanism of the domino reaction was further confirmed through the APCI-MS detection of proposed reaction intermediates.
