In cases in which the palladium-catalyzed coupling of a bromoquinone with a vinyl stannane affords a vinyl quinone that enolizes, the resulting ortho-quinone methide undergoes an oxa-6π electrocyclization. Enolization is promoted by the presence of a polar additive. The net conversion is a formal [3+3] cycloaddition that gives 2H-chromenes. Because the first two steps of the cascade are catalyzed, the overall conversion is an example of multicatalysis. Yields for the optimized, one-pot protocol ...[more]
