description

A highly diastereo- and enantiostereoselective synthesis of bicyclic dihydropyranothiazoles combining a thiazole and δ-lactone skeleton via NHC-catalyzed [4+2] annulation of 5-alkenylthiazolones and α-chloroaldehydes has been developed. The heterocyclic products are formed via azolium enolate intermediates in good yields with high diastereo- and enantistereoselectivities.
