Abstract

Isothiourea HBTM-2.1 catalyses the Michael addition–lactonisation of 2-aryl and 2-alkenylacetic acids and α,β-unsaturated trichloromethyl ketones. Ring-opening of the resulting dihydropyranones and subsequent alcoholysis of the CCl3 ketone with an excess of methanol gives a range of diesters in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity (up to 95:5 dr and >99% ee). Sequential addition of two different nucleophiles to a dihydropyranone gives the corresponding differentially substituted diacid derivative.
