The first examples of enantioselectiveaddition of anthrones to α,β-unsaturatedaldehydes are disclosed. The reaction was performed at −40 °C achieving high yields and enantioselectivities.

Asymmetric organocatalyticadditions of anthrones to activated alkenes are discussed. The reaction between anthrone or dithranol and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is catalyzed by diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether in toluene at −40 °C, giving the Michael adducts with good yields and enantioselectivities. Bifunctional amino-thioureas efficiently catalyze the additions of anthrones to both nitroalkenes and maleimides
