Enantioenriched 2,3,4-trisubstituted thiochromanes have been synthesized by using a cupreine-catalyzed tandem Michael addition-Henry reaction between 2-mercaptobenzaldehydes and β-nitrostyrenes. Good diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities were obtained for the title compounds, which may be further improved through a single recrystallization (up to 98% de and> 99% ee).
