Abstract
Ace of Base: The first highly enantioselectlve direct vinylogous aldol reaction of dihalogenated or α-thio-substituted furanones with aldehydes utilizes an axially chiral guanidine base catalyst. The method provides facile access to enantioenriched γ-substituted butenolides. (Figure Presented)
