Abstract

Enantioselective synthesis of tricyclic delta-lactones with three contiguous stereocenters has been demonstrated by the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed functionalization of benzylic C(sp(3))-H bonds. The NHC-catalyzed reaction of enals with dinitrotoluene derivatives under oxidative conditions proceeds via the chiral alpha,beta-unsaturated acylazoliums and produces the delta-lactones in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. This mild and atom-economic cascade reaction takes place in a Michael/Michael/lactonization sequence and tolerates a broad range of functional groups.
