Abstract
An asymmetric Michael addition of 2-oxochroman-3-carboxylate esters to trans-β-nitroolefins is described. This strategy can give direct access to dihydrocoumarin derivatives bearing adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocenters with up to >99% yield, >20:1 dr, and >99% ee. The adduct was further transformed to a spiro-dihydrocoumarin compound in three steps with good yield. (Figure presented.).
