Enantioselective intramolecular [3 + 2] annulation of chalcones bearing an allene moiety has been successfully developed. The reaction was effectively promoted by amino acid-derived phosphines, in combination with achiral Brønsted acids. Dihydrocoumarin architectures were constructed in high yields and with excellent enantiomeric excesses. Theoretical studies <i>via</i> DFT calculations revealed that the hydrogen bonding network induced by achiral Brønsted acids/chiral phosphines could more effi ...[more]
