Synthesis of chromans via Pd-catalyzed alkene carboetherification reactions

Graphical abstract: Synthesis of chromans via Pd-catalyzed alkene carboetherification reactions

A new method for the construction of 2-substituted and 2,2-disubstituted chromans via Pd-catalyzed carboetherification reactions between aryl/alkenyl halides and 2-(but-3-en-1-yl)phenols is described. These reactions effect formation of a C–O bond and a C–C bond to afford the chroman products in good yield, and also provide stereoselective access to tricyclic chroman derivatives.
