Abstract

An efficient procedure for the stereocontrolled construction of 2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]quinoline scaffolds has been developed, starting from simple compounds. The domino Michael/aldol reactions between 2-mercaptobenzaldehydes and enals, promoted by chiral diphenylprolinol TMS ether, proceed with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivity to give the corresponding synthetically useful and pharmaceutically valuable 2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]quinolines in high yields with 90-99 % ee.
