The introduction of alkyl substituents at C-2 of chromanones via conjugate addition of silyl enol ethers to a variety of chromenones is reported. In most cases racemic 2-alkyl chromanones were obtained in good yield in the presence of TMSOTf. The copper(II)-promoted conjugate addition of silyl enol ethers to chromenones was also carried out, albeit in low yields and no selectivity. Reliable syntheses of the chromenones via acylation of the corresponding beta-diketo-compounds are also described. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
