Abstract

"Chemical Equation Present" Domino catalysis: We have developed the first enantioselective domino Mannich-ketalization reaction of o-hydroxy benzaldimines with electron-rich alkenes (see scheme). The new reaction sequence provides an easy and direct access to optically pure 4-aminobenzopyrans in good yields and with excellent enantiomeric ratios (up to e.r. 98:2).
