Enantioselective heterocyclic synthesis of spiro chromanone-thiochroman complexes catalyzed by a bifunctional indane catalyst

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Dec 28;46(48):9232-4. doi: 10.1039/c0cc03489d. Epub 2010 Nov 4.

Abstract

Novel asymmetric domino reactions of benzylidenechroman-4-ones and 2-mercaptobenzaldehydes for efficient construction of spiro chromanone-thiochroman complexes were accomplished with high yields and excellent selectivities via a novel bifunctional indane catalyst.
