Abstract

A sulfa-Michael/aldol/lactonization cascade reaction has been established to construct isotetronic acid-fused thiochromanes in a highly stereoselective fashion (≥11:1 dr, 35-98% ee). The tricyclic products were obtained in 35-99% isolated yields in the presence of a bifunctional squaramide. Three reactive sites of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester, including the less-explored ester carbonyl group, were sequentially utilized to construct two fused heterocycles in a one-pot operation.
