Abstract
A new light-driven asymmetric ion-pair catalysis procedure for the metal-free enantioselective hydrogenation of in situ generated pyrylium ions from readily available chalcones was developed (see scheme). The photo-assisted Brønsted acid catalyzed procedure has broad scope and allows, for the first time, access to valuable 4H-chromenes in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.Entities:
