A chiral squaramide catalyzed approach constructing spiro-3,4-dihydrocoumarin motif by the enantioselective 1,6-addition/acetalization reactions of 1-oxotetralin-2-carbaldehydes and ortho-hydroxyphenyl-substituted para-quinone methides followed by an oxidation was developed. The reactions proceeded smoothly with a wide range of p-QMs and 1-oxotetralin-2-carbaldehydes to generate corresponding products in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (>19:1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).

A simple and convenient cyclization of -hydroxyphenyl-substituted -quinone methides with benzofuran-2-one type active olefins oxa-Michael/1,6-conjugated addition has been developed, which afforded an easy access to enriched functionalized chroman-spirobenzofuran-2-one scaffolds with good to excellent yields (up to 90%) and diastereoselectivities (up to >19 : 1 dr). This reaction provided an efficient method for constructing desired spirocyclic compounds combining both well-known heterocyclic pharmacophores chroman and benzofuran-2-one.

A catalytic asymmetric (4 + 2) cyclization of ortho-hydroxyphenyl-substituted para-quinone methide derivatives with 3-vinylindoles has been established in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid, which provides a series of chiral chroman derivatives bearing an indole moiety in generally high yields (up to 97%), and with good enantioselectivities (up to 90% ee) and moderate to good diastereoselectivities (up to 95 : 5 dr). This reaction has not only fulfilled the need of developing catalytic asymmetric (4 + 2) cyclizations of para-quinone methide derivatives with electron-rich alkenes, but also provided a useful method for constructing chiral chroman scaffolds.

A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3,4-dihydrocoumarins with adjacent tertiary-quaternary stereocenters by 1,6-addition/transesterification cascade reaction of α-isocyanoacetates with ortho-hydroxyphenyl-substituted para-quinone methides (p-QMs) has been developed. Using a combination of dihydroquinidine-derived aminophosphine and silver nitrate as a binary catalytic system, moderate to good yields, excellent diastereoselectivities (>20 : 1 dr) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee) were achieved for a wide range of isocyanoacetates and p-QMs.

The enantioselective conjugate addition of 2-naphthols to -hydroxyphenyl substituted -quinone methides has been achieved with the aid of a chiral phosphoric acid. Importantly, the reaction took place with excellent chemo- and regioselectivities. In addition, the protocol features a low catalyst loading, mild reaction conditions, and enables the formation of unsymmetrical triarylmethanes in good to high yields with generally high enantioselectivities.
