A cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed domino Michael/hemiacetalization reaction of cyclic beta-oxo aldehydes and aromatic beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-keto esters, resulting in the formation of spiro-dihydropyran architectures in good yield with high stereoselectivity (up to 97% ee), is presented.

A simple chiral diamine catalyst (1a) was successfully applied in the asymmetric Michael reaction between cyclic dimedone and α,β-unsaturated ketones. Both acyclic enones with aryl or alkyl β-substituents and cyclic enones were tolerated well in the reaction. The desired adducts
Highly stereoselective total syntheses of polyrhacitide A and epi-cryptocaryolone have been achieved in 11 steps with high overall yield of 24% and 28%, respectively, following a recently developed strategy for the construction of trans-2,6-disubstituted-3,4-dihydropyrans. In this report, the versatility of
