Abstract
A highly enantioselective catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 2H-1-benzothiopyrans is presented. The organocatalytic asymmetric domino reactions between 2-mercaptobenzaldehyde and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes proceed with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivities to give the corresponding pharmaceutically valuable benzothiopyrans in high yields with 91-98% ee.
