Enantioselective One‐Pot Organocatalytic Michael Addition/Gold‐Catalyzed Tandem Acetalization/Cyclization

Abstract

Au-rganocatalytic reaction: A one-pot process consisting of a Michael addition to a nitroenyne and a subsequent acetalization/cyclization is reported (see scheme; TMS=trimethylsilyl), which results in the formation of nitro-substituted tetrahydrofuranyl ethers with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Organocatalysis and gold catalysis are compatible and complementary in a one-pot process. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
