levels of enantiocontrol are observed in the silanediol-catalyzed
addition of silyl ketene acetals to benzopyrylium triflates. This
rare example of enantioselective, intermolecular chromenone functionalization
with carbonyl-containing nucleophiles has potential applications in
the synthesis of bioactive chromanones and tetrahydroxanthones.
