title: The Reaction of 2-Aroylvinylcinnamaldehydes with Aromatic Aldehydes by Dual Catalysis with a Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene and a Lewis Acid: Enantioselective Construction of Tetrahydroindeno[1,2-c]furan-1-ones.
abstract: The cooperative chiral N-heterocyclic carbene and Lewis acid catalyzed reactions between 2-aroylvinylcinnamaldehydes and various aromatic aldehydes produced multifunctional tetrahydroindeno[1,2-c]furan-1-ones with excellent enantioselectivity. This work developed a versatile and efficient method for highly enantioselective construction of chiral tetrahydroindeno[1,2-c]furan-1-one, which are not easily prepared by other synthetic methods.
