An efficient method for the highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral chromanes bearing multiple stereogenic centers was developed. A chiral BINOL-based N-triflylphosphoramide proved to be an effective catalyst for the in situ generation of ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) and their subsequent cycloaddition reaction with unactivated alkenes provided chromanes with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
