A bifunctional squaramide based on (R,R)-11,12-diamino-9,10-ethylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene has been developed, and it has demonstrated great advantages over previously reported organocatalysts in the asymmetric Michael addition of 4-hydroxycoumarins to β,γ-unsaturated α-oxophosphonates. Upon quenching the generated β-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl-substituted acylphosphonate intermediates with DBU and an alcohol or amine as a second nucleophile, the corresponding β-substituted carboxylates or amides were obtained in acceptable to excellent yields and with high levels of enantioselectivity (80–97 % ee) in a one-pot fashion. |
