Popis: A catalytic and highly enantioselective dearomative alkynylation of chromanones has been discovered that enables the construction of biologically relevant tertiary ether stereogenic centers. This methodology is robust, accommodating a variety of alkynes and chromanones. More than 40 substrates tested gave rise to >90% ee. Computational studies have indicated that the optimal indanyl ligand identified for most cases likely affords a network of supportive, non-covalent interactions that drive the enantioselective nature of the reaction.
