Optically active 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4m>Hm>-chromene-3-carboxylates, 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4m>Hm>-chromene-3-carbonitriles, and 2-amino-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4m>Hm>-chromene-3-carbonitriles were synthesized. Using cinchona alkaloid-derived bifunctional catalysts, the corresponding 2-amino-4m>Hm>-chromene derivatives were obtained in high yields and moderate to high ee values (up to 82% ee) from the tandem Michael addition–cyclization reaction between 1,3-cyclohexanediones or 1,2-cyclohexanediones and (m>Em>)-3-aryl-2-cyanoacrylate or alkylidene malononitrile derivatives.
