Bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-ones have been prepared from a tandem Michael Henry reaction between cyclohexane-1,2-diones and nitroalkenes using a quinine-derived thiourea as the catalyst. Although four stereogenic centers were created during the reaction, only two diastereomers were obtained in good diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivity (92-99% ee). When 3-methylcyclohexane-1,2-dione (R(1)=Me) was used as the substrate, only the regioisomeric product of the corresponding thermodynamic enolate was obtained. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
