Remote Asymmetric Oxa-Diels-Alder Reaction of 5-Allylic Furfurals via Dearomatizative Tetraenamine Catalysis.

Department of Medicinal Chemistry, West China School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China.

Published: February 2018

A previously unreported activation mode is developed through the generation of dearomatizative tetraenamine species between 5-allylic furfurals and a bifunctional amine-thiourea catalyst. The very remote ζ,η-alkenes perform as effective HOMO-raised dienophiles in inverse-electron-demand oxa-Diels-Alder cycloadditions with isatin-derived oxadiene substrates, delivering multifunctional spirocyclic oxindoles incorporating a dihydropyran skeleton in moderate to high yields with good to excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity.
