title: Diphenylprolinol silyl ether catalysis in an asymmetric formal carbo [3 + 3] cycloaddition reaction via a domino Michael/Knoevenagel condensation.
abstract: Diphenylprolinol silyl ether was found to catalyze the formal carbo [3 + 3] cycloaddition reaction through the domino reaction via the Michael reaction, followed by Knoevenagel condensation of the alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde and dimethyl 3-oxopentanedioate, affording substituted cyclohexenone derivatives with excellent enantioselectivity.
