A highlydiastereoselective tandem reaction of 2′-nitrochalcones is reported, involving Michael addition and a subsequent ipso-substitution of the nitro group to produce 1-tetralones with two contiguous chiral centers. A related annulation reaction of 2′-nitrochalcones with potassium cyanide affording 1-indanones with a C3-quaternary chiral center is also demonstrated.
