The asymmetric synthesis of bicyclic highly substituted tetrahydropyrans is described. The reaction is catalyzed by unnatural γ-dipeptides based on densely substituted l- and d-proline derivatives. This organocatalytic one-pot reaction takes place among a ketone, a nitroalkene, and an aldehyde to yield an octahydro-2<i>H</i>-chromene scaffold. Monomeric species, from which the corresponding γ-dipeptides are synthesized, cannot catalyze the reaction, thus confirming the emergent nature of the cat ...[more]
