Abstract

An unprecedented remote construction of chiral vicinal tertiary and quaternary centers by a catalytic asymmetric 1,6-conjugate addition of prochiral carbon nucleophiles to cyclic dienones has been developed. Both 5H-oxazol-4-ones and 2-oxindoles were found to be very efficient carbon nucleophiles in this reaction at a remote position, giving products with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to 99% ee and >19:1 d.r. for 5H-oxazol-4-ones and up to 97% ee and >19:1 d.r. for 2-oxindoles).
