The present invention relates to the preparation of chromane compounds and their derivatives by a copper-catalyzed conjugate addition reaction. It has been observed that in highly stereoselective manner a methyl group can be introduced to the 2 position of chromane ring by reaction of a chromenone with Al(CH3)3 in the presence of a Cu(I) salt and specific chiral phosphoramidites. The compounds obtained are important intermediates particularly for the synthesis of chiral tocopherols.

introducing a disposable activating substituent at C‐3, the asymmetric 1,4‐addition to a notoriously unreactive 2‐substituted chromenone was achieved with high levels of (2R)‐stereoselectivity in the presence of a chiral CuI‐phosphoramidite complex as a catalyst. This paved the way for an efficient and conceptually novel synthesis of (R,R,R)‐α‐tocopherol from readily available starting materials.
