Abstract

The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed annulation of enals with 2'-hydroxy chalcones afford cyclopentane-fused coumarin derivatives with an excellent level of diastereocontrol. The reaction tolerates a broad range of functional groups; 25 examples are given, and a preliminary mechanistic investigation is provided.
