The chromenone core is an ubiquitous group in biologically active natural products and has been extensively used in organic synthesis. Fluorine-derived compounds, including those with a trifluoromethyl group (CF3), have shown enhanced biological activities in numerous pharmaceuticals compared with their non-fluorinated analogues. 2-Trifluoromethylchromenones can be readily functionalized at the 8- and 7-positions, providing chromenones cores of high structural complexity, which are excellent precursors for numerous trifluoromethyl heterocycles.

An efficient enantioselective construction of quaternary carbons including spiro carbons is an area of intense interest due to the importance of these units as components of biologically active natural products. Prominent methods are presented for the synthesis of chiral, nonracemic quaternary carbon centers by (i) stereospecific rearrangement of optically active epoxides, (ii) enzyme-catalyzed resolution, and (iii) hypervalent iodine reagent-induced ipso-substitution of para-substituted phenol derivatives. These methods were applied to the total syntheses of fredericamycin A and discorhabdin A.
