Organocatalytic one-pot 1,4-/1,6-/1,2-addition sequence for the stereocontrolled formation of six consecutive stereocenters
A new stereoselective organocatalyzed one-pot 1,4-/1,6-/1,2-addition reaction sequentially catalyzed by low loading of a squaramide and an achiral base provide a direct entry to isoxazole bearing cyclohexanes with six contiguous stereogenic centers in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities.
