A general and highly enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to cinnamones and chalcones has been developed. The commercially available 1,2-diphenylethanediamine could be directly utilized as the organocatalyst to furnish the desired adducts in satisfactory yield (61-99%) and moderate to excellent enantiopurity (65 to >99% ee). β-Ketoester was also a competent donor and was employed to construct densely functionalized cyclohexenones <i>via</i> a tandem Michael-aldol condensation process. ...[more]
