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.
开发了一种新的光驱动不对称离子对催化方法,用于无金属对原位生成的吡喃鎓离子的对映选择性氢化,该吡喃鎓离子由易得的查耳酮生成(见方案)。该光辅助的 Brønsted 酸催化方法具有广泛的适用范围,并且首次能够以良好的收率和优异的对映选择性获得有价值的 4H-色烯。
