An expedited method has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized decaline systems containing seven contiguous stereogenic centers with high enantioselectivities (>99% ee). The one-pot methodology comprises a cascade of organocatalytic double Michael鈥損hotocatalyzed Michael鈥揳ldol reactions of ethyl 2-bromo-6-formylhex-2-enoate, 尾-alkyl-伪,尾-unsaturated aldehydes, and 伪-alkyl-伪,尾-unsaturated aldehydes. The structure and absolute configuration of an appropriate product were confirmed by X-ray analysis.
