A direct asymmetric addition of a (2-thienyl)aluminum reagent to ketones catalyzed by a titanium catalyst of (S)-BINOL to afford chiral tertiary 2-thienyl alcohols is reported. The catalytic system works excellently for aromatic ketones and for 1-acetylcyclohexene, furnishing products in excellent enantioselectivities of up to 97% ee. However, the additions to dialkyl ketones afford products in low enantioselectivities of 8-17% ee. Importantly, a concise 3-step synthesis of (S)-tiemonium iodide with an 84% yield is demonstrated.

3-trifluoroacetyl and 2-trifluoromethyl-dihydrofurans in good yields. The radical cyclizations of 2-methyl-5-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]furan 2b and 2-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]thiophene 2c led to the formations of 5-(5-methyl-2-furyl)-4,5-dihydrofuran and 5-(2-thienyl)-4,5-dihydrofuran, respectively. In the reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyls with alkenes, 2-thienyl substituted alkenes formed 4,5-dihydrofurans in higher
