Abstract

Employing a build/couple/pair strategy, a serendipitous one-pot protocol for the diastereoselective construction of diverse collections of chromenopyrroles is described. This methodology features an unprecedented five-step cascade including azomethine ylide generation followed by in situ intramolecular [3 + 2]-cycloaddition. Furthermore, this protocol was extended to access enantiopure chromenopyrroles using amino acids as chiral auxiliary. Moreover, postpairing reactions were employed to increase the diversity and complexity of our pilot compound collections.
