Abstract Base-mediated [3 + 3] cycloadditionreaction of in-situ formed aza-oxyallyl cations and 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diols has been achieved under mild reaction conditions. This strategy provides direct and efficient access to prepare desired thiomorpholin-3-one derivatives in moderate-to-high yields. The approach features broad substrates scope and short reaction time. Moreover, the resulting products
A sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction of 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and α-aryl-β-nitroacrylate has been developed, which allows access to 2,5-dihydrothiophenes bearing a quaternary carbon center in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities.
