摘要

A bifunctional squaramide catalyzed sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction between 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and chalcones with a low catalyst loading has been developed. Trisubstituted tetrahydrothiophenes with three contiguous stereogenic centers are obtained in a highly stereocontrolled manner. Additionally, a remarkable temperature effect on reaction efficiency was observed and a synthetically potential gram-synthesis was also conducted.
