An asymmetric doubly vinylogous Michael addition (DVMA) of α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactams to sterically congested β-substituted cyclic dienones with high site-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity has been achieved. An unprecedented DVMA/vinylogous Michael addition/isomerization cascade reaction affords chiral fused tricyclic γ-lactams with four newly formed stereocenters. ...[more]
