An efficient synthesis of bioactive chiral flavanones (1) was achieved through the αh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acid to chromone. The reaction in toluene proceeded smoothly at room temperature in the presence of 0.5% Rh catalyst with electron-poor chiral diphosphine MeO-F 12-BIPHEP. In this reaction, the 1,2-addition to (S)-1 frequently occurred to yield (2S,4α)-2,4-diaryl-4-chromanol as a byproduct, which could be reduced by changing the reaction solvent to CH2C 12 to deactivate the Rh catalyst (3% required).
