Abstract

The organocatalytic enantioselective tandem Michael addition-cyclization of malononitrile to nitroalkenes for the direct synthesis of chiral 2-amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile derivatives was investigated. Good yields and enantioselectivities (up to 91% ee) were achieved. This organocatalytic asymmetric tandem Michael addition-cyclization provides an efficient route toward the synthesis of optically active functionalized chromenes.
