In a rational chiral molecular design of chalcogenides, optically active thiepin with C2-symmetric chirality was synthesized from commercially available thiophene. Then enatioselective Chalcogeno-Baylis-Hillman reactions of arylaldehydes with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and acrylates were investigated in the presence of thiepin-Lewis acid complex. Finally, up to 64% ee was achieved in the presence of 0.2 equiv. of (S)-thiepin at 20°C. Enatioselective Chalcogeno-Baylis-Hillman reactions between benzaldehydes and acrylates were investigated in the presence of chiral thiepin-Lewis acid complex. Finally, up to 64% ee was achieved in the presence of 0.2 equiv. of (S)-thiepin at 20°C. Copyright
