of a heteroatom-attached allyl moiety with aldehydes, viz., O-allyl, O-cinnamyl
salicylaldehydes, and others, to afford syn-chromanols exclusively. The reaction proceeds
through a [2+ 2+ 1] oxidative cycloaddition involving the active catalyst. This method is
applicable to both terminal and internal olefin substrates. The formal syntheses of CP-
199.330, CP-199.331, and CP-85.958 have been demonstrated. Control experiments, mass …
