Abstract

A highly enantioselective cascade sulfa-Michael/Julia-Kocienski olefination reaction between 2-mercaptobenzaldehydes and β-substituted vinyl PT-sulfones provides a wide range of 3,4-unsubstituted 2H-thiochromenes with excellent enantioselectivities. This reaction is catalyzed by diphenylprolinol TMS ether and proceeds through an aromatic iminium intermediate.
