Abstract

Organocatalytic Michael–aldol–dehydration domino reaction of 3-(1-hydroxyethylidene)benzofuran-2(3H)-ones and enones catalyzed by Cinchona-based primary amine has been developed. The desired chiral spirocyclic benzofuranones were obtained in excellent stereoselectivities (dr>20:1 and up to 96% ee) and moderate to excellent yields (up to 98%).
