An efficient carbene
organocatalyzed route to enantioenriched chromenones,
bearing one tri- or difluoromethylated stereogenic center in the β
position of the carbonyl group, from o-allyloxybenzaldehydes
is described. The one-pot transition-metal-free transformation exhibits
a broad substrate scope and excellent enantioselectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
