A novel synthetic method for enantioselective C2-functionalization of 3-hydroxychromenones promoted by N-heterocyclic carbenes the formation of α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates, which occurs with Coates-Claisen rearrangement is established. This synthetic strategy enabled the rapid assembly of enantiomerically enriched δ-hydroxychromenone-derived esters/amides under mild conditions with good to excellent yields and broad substrate scope.

N-Heterocyclic carbene catalyzed enantioselective functionalization of 3-aminobenzofurans at the C2-position was realized using 2-bromoenals as the coupling partner. The reaction proceeds via generation of chiral α,β-unsaturated acylazoliums and follows an aza-Claisen rearrangement. The initially formed dihydropyridinone undergoes ring-opening catalyzed by Mg to afford the δ-amino acid derivatives.
