Abstract
An enantioselective decarboxylative alkylation of β-keto acids, followed by sequential cyclization and dehydration, enables an efficient asymmetric synthesis of useful 2,4-diaryl-1-benzopyrans in good yields and high enantioselectivities . This one-pot, two-step sequence offers a facile way to prepare chiral 2,4-diaryl-1-benzopyran derivatives and tolerates a wide range of functional groups.
