The first enantioselective total synthesis of (S)-equol is reported. The described route relies on an Evans alkylation to form the stereocenter and an intramolecular Buchwald etherification to generate the chroman ring. Key features of this method include its brevity, its

Camphor-derived lactams and other related chiral controllers have been found to react with the Bestmann ylide (triphenylphosphoranylideneketene) upon heating in toluene. The resulting parent ylides provide convenient access to a structurally diverse set of chiral stabilized ylides via functionalization. The
