Abstract

AbstractThe first organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of 4H‐chromenes bearing a trifluoromethylated tetrasubstituted carbon center is presented. Chiral secondary amines promote the oxa‐Michael–aldol cascade reaction between alkynals and 2‐trifluoroacetylphenols via iminium–allenamine activation to produce pharmaceutically important heterocycles with excellent enantioselectivities. The proposed reaction can be scaled‐up easily with maintenance of the excellent enantioselectivity.magnified image
