A catalyticenantioselectivesynthesis of dihydrofurans has been developed. 1,3-Dicarbonyl derivatives react with (E)-β,β-bromonitrostyrenes in the presence of a chiral bifunctional thiourea catalyst providing mild and efficient access to diverse polysubstituted dihydrofurans in good yields and enantioselectivities.

reaction of oxindole was developed, in which oxindoles were employed as a dinucleophilic C1 synthon and bromonitroolefins with a dielectrophilic center were used as a C2 synthon (see scheme). An amino acid based multifunctional catalyst promoted the [2+1] reaction, giving the products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
