Abstract

An organocatalytic construction of optically enriched substituted pyran derivatives via amine-catalyzed Michael addition and subsequent enolization/cyclisation has been described starting from electronically poor alkenes. Functionalized pyrans were obtained in high enantioselectivities (up to 96%) and good yields (up to 90%) having three contiguous chiral centers.
