In this paper, the organocatalytic asymmetric 1,4-Michael addition reaction of azadienes and α-thiocyanoindanones was investigated. A series of chiral benzofuran compounds containing thiocyano group and quaternary carbon center were synthesized in moderate yields with good enantioselectivities (up to 90:10 <i>er</i>) and high diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5 <i>dr</i>). This is the first case of 1,4-Michael addition reaction using α-thiocyanoindanones to obtain a series of chiral thiocyano co ...[more]
