We report an enantioselective Michael-Aldol[3+2] annulation between 2-alkyl-3-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-diones and nitroalkenes using a bifunctional thiourea catalyst, and a series of nitro-methanobenzo[7]annulenes with potential biological activities were synthesized in good yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. A gram-scale synthesis and further transformation of the product demonstrated the synthetic value of this reaction.
