(S)-2,15-Cl2-DHTP-boron complex catalyst for the asymmetric Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 2′-hydroxychalcones and dienes was developed and tested. The resulting cyclohexenes with three chiral centers were obtained in high yields (up to 98%) with excellent stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 endo/exo, >99% ee). This catalytic system features high efficiency, broad substrate scopes, and mild reaction conditions. In addition, a DFT study was performed to explain the stereochemical course of the asymmetric induction.

A fast and efficient synthesis of flavanones from cinnamic acids in three steps has been developed. First, the cinnamic acid was converted to cinnamyol chlorides using SOCl2. The acid chlorides were then treated with substituted phenols in BF3· OEt2to furnish corresponding chalcones in 42(75% yields. Base-catalyzed cyclization of the chalcones at room temperature afforded corresponding flavones in 85–95% yields. The conversion of the cinnamic acid derivatives to corresponding chalcones was found to be sensitive to the position and nature of the substituents on the aromatic rings.

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.
