Two to four! Readily available flavones and chromones were efficiently converted into four valuable chiral classes of O-heterocycles - flavanones, chromanones, flavanols, and chromanols - by means of an enantioselective Ru/NHC-catalyzed hydrogenation process (see scheme; NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene, PCC=pyridinium chlorochromate).
