A direct catalytic asymmetric multiple dearomatization reaction of phenols was disclosed, which provides expedient access to a series of architecturally complex polycyclic compounds bearing four stereogenic centers in high enantiopurity. The key to achieve such a transformation is the combination of a dearomative 1,8-addition of β-naphthols to <i>para</i>-quinone methides generated <i>in situ</i> from propargylic alcohols and a subsequent intramolecular dearomative Diels-Alder reaction.
