A catalytic asymmetric method for the synthesis of 2-CF3 chromanes has been described. Generally, the squaramide-catalyzed cascade reaction of 2-hydroxychalcones with 尾-CF3-nitroalkenes gave the CF3-containing heterocyclic compounds bearing three contiguous stereogenic centers in excellent yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities.
