Abstract

Abstract The enantioselective tandem Michael addition reaction of dimedone and related 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with α,β-unsaturated N-acylated succinimides catalyzed by a chiral squaramide catalyst has been investigated. This reaction provides a new approach for the synthesis of chiral enol lactones in good yields with moderate to high enantioselectivities (up to 88% ee) through the enantioselective Michael addition followed by lactonization and removal of the succinimide auxiliary.
