Catalytic asymmetric tandem Friedel–Crafts alkylation/Michael addition reaction for the synthesis of highly functionalized chromans

The enantioselective tandem Friedel–Crafts alkylation/Michael addition reaction of indoles with nitroolefin enoates catalyzed by a diphenylamine-linked bis(oxazoline)-Zn(OTf)2 complex was investigated. This tandem reaction afforded functionalized chiral chromans in good yields with moderate to high...
