Abstract

A catalytic asymmetric oxidative iminium-allenamine cascade allows the use of propargyl alcohols as stable substrates and yields valuable chiral bicyclic 4H-chromenes. A subsequent Michael addition-condensation domino reaction provides complex tricyclic 4H-chromenes in a highly enantioselective fashion.
