AbstractThe N‐heterocyclic carbene/Brønsted base cascade catalysis in the reaction of 3‐(2‐formylphenoxy)propenoates with N‐Boc‐arylimines has been studied. Both multifunctional benzofuran‐3‐ones and benzopyran‐4‐ones (flavone derivatives) were selectively synthesized in good yields simply by regulating the loading of the base catalyst.magnified image
