Significance

The axially chiral guanidine base catalyst 1 catalyzes an enantioselective direct vinylogous aldol reaction in high yields, moderate diastereoselectivity, and excellent enantioselectivity. Halogenated or α-thio-substituted furanones 2 are employed as the vinylogous nucleophile, instead of commonly used 2-silyloxyfuranes.
