A new asymmetric organocatalytic three-component quadruple cascade of α-ketoamides with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is described. The reaction is catalyzed by the (<i>S</i>)-diphenylprolinol TMS ether catalyst and proceeds via an aza-Michael/aldol condensation/vinylogous Michael/aldol condensation sequence to yield tetraaryl-substituted 2-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octadienone derivatives. The cascade products are obtained with good to very good yields (34-71%), virtually complete diastereoselectivities (>2 ...[more]
