Abstract
Tritylium cation-catalyzed interrupted Povarov reactions afforded cis-4-aminobenzodihydropyrans in excellent yields (90 %) within 10 min by low catalyst loadings (1 mol-%). A mechanism involving Lewis acidic catalysis by a carbocation was proposed and validated. Changing a one-pot batch version of the reaction into a two-stage convergent continuous flow procedure led to a 10-fold time reduction (to 1 min) with 88 % yield.
