“…[123] Enders andc o-workers developed an organocatalytic asymmetric two-component four-step domino reaction for the synthesis of spirocyclohexaneoxindole derivatives 297,u sing b-phenyl aldehyde (294,R 1 = Ph) anda ctivated alkenes 298 as the substrates,I BX as the oxidant, and (R)-45 as the catalyst. [124] As shown in Scheme 80, the enamine intermediate 295, formed from the reactiono f( R)-45 and 294,a nd the iminiumi ntermediate 296,f ormed in situ from the oxidation of 295 by IBX, were both essential for the two initial Michael addition reactions (i.e., the Michael addition of 295 to 298,a nd then the Michael addition of that product to 296). Finally, an intramolecular aldol condensation yielded the desired products 297 in good yieldsa nd excellent dr and ee values.U sing b-phenyl or b-styryl aldehydes 294 and nitroalkenes 76 as the substrates, the authors were also able to synthesize 1-cyclohexenecarbaldehydes 299 in moderate to good yields with excellent stereoselectivities.T he enantiomers of the products 297 and 299 may be obtained in similar yields and stereoselectivities by using (S)-45 as the catalyst.…”
