Abstract

A one-pot synthesis of substituted dihydrofurans was developed from a Lewis base catalyzed three-component cascade condensation with nitroalkenes, aldehydes and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. A large substrate scopes were prepared with excellent diastereoselectivity (trans product only) and excellent yield (up to 95%).
