Enantioselective Intramolecular Crossed-Chromanone Cyclization to 6a; Typical Procedure
In a Schlenk tube under argon at r.t. the pre-catalyst 1 (39.0 mg, 0.104 mmol, 20 mol%) was suspended in anhyd THF (9.5 mL). KHMDS (0.5 M in toluene; 198 µL, 0.099 mmol, 19 mol%) was added slowly, and the solution stirred
         for 15 min. The yellow solution was cooled to 5 °C and the aldehyde ketone 5a (100 mg, 0.520 mmol) dissolved in anhyd THF (1.0 mL) was added to the carbene solution.
         The reaction mixture was stirred for 48 h, diluted with CH2Cl2, quenched with H2O, extracted twice with CH2Cl2, and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography
         on silica gel (Et2O-n-pentane, 1:8) to yield 6a (88 mg, 88%) as a colorless solid; mp 48 °C; ee 94% [determined by chiral stationary
