Abstract
Quaternary stereocenters that bear a sulfur substituent can be created with nearly perfect stereocontrol through an intramolecular Michael-type process. Lewis acids (L.A.) accelerate the intramolecular sulfur-atom transfer from the oxazolidine-2-thione functionality to the β carbon atom of the β,β-disubstituted enoyl moiety, whereas the chirality of the oxazolidine-2-thione portion controls reaction stereochemistry (see scheme).
