Abstract

Several reactive sites of 1,2- and 1,3-ketoamides were successively exploited in two complementary domino transformations for the synthesis of polysubstituted monocyclic or bridged bicyclic cyclohexanes, with the creation of up to six stereogenic centers. In both cases, a chiral bifunctional thiourea organocatalyst allowed efficient control of chirality in the final carbocycle.
