A highly efficient asymmetric synthesis of chiral thioflavanones is developed via conjugateaddition of arylzinc reagents to thiochromones using Rh(COD)Cl2/(R)-3,4,5-MeO-MeOBIPHEP catalyst. This method overcomes catalyst poisoning and substrate inertness and affords a series of chiral thioflavanones (2-arylthiochroman-4-ones) in good yields (up to 91% yield) with excellent ee values (up to 97% ee)
