In this study,six thiourea derivatives of cinchona alkaloids with 9-nat or 9-epi-configuration were synthesized.After characterized the structures,we adopted them to the asymmetric'interrupted'Feist-Benary(IFB) reaction ofα-haloketones with β-dicarbonyl compounds,to give optically active dihydrofurans.Various thiourea derivatives as organocatalysts were examined.The corresponding chiral hydroxyl dihydrofurans have been obtained in excellent yields and moderate ees.To the acyclic substrate,we obtained exc...
