A primary amine-thiourea organocatalyzed intramolecular Michael addition access was developed for the synthesis of trans-dihydrobenzofurans. Under the catalysis of an (R,R)-1,2 diphenylethylamine derived primary aminethiourea bearing a glucosyl scaffold, the corresponding transdihydrobenzofurans were obtained in high yields with excellent level of enantioselectivities (94 to >99% ee). Moreover, an in situ isomerization occurring at high temperature gave good to excellent trans/cis ratios as well (trans/cis: 84/16-96/4).
