Abstract
A highly stereoselective method for the synthesis of functionalized 3-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one derivatives with four contiguous stereogenic centers, including one tetrasubstituted stereogenic center, was realized through an organocatalytic domino Michael-hemiacetalization-Michael reaction of (E)-3-aryl-2-nitroprop-2-enols and (E)-7-aryl-7-oxohept-5-enals followed by a PCC oxidation. Using the modularly designed organocatalysts (MDOs) self-assembled from cinchona alkaloid derivatives and amino acids in the reaction media, the title products were obtained in good yields (up to 84%), excellent diastereoselectivities (> 99:1 dr), and high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee).
