An unprecedented organocatalytic enantioselective vinylogous Michael addition and Henry cyclization cascade is presented for the synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydrofluoren-9-ones employing novel 1,3-indandione-derived pronucleophiles and nitroalkenes. Following a very simple protocol, a wide range of products were obtained in good to excellent yields and with excellent enantioinduction (43-98% yields, up to 98% ee). The reaction proceeded with excellent diastereocontrol despite the simultaneous generation of four stereogenic centers. Surprisingly, when 2-(1-phenylethylidene)-1H-indandione was used as a pronucleophile, no cyclization was observed, and only Michael addition adducts were furnished in very good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
