Unexpected tandem ylide annulation reaction for controllable synthesis of 2H-chromenes and 4H-chromenes.

[reaction: see text] An unexpected tetrahydrothiophene-catalyzed ylide annulation reaction, via tandem Michael addition/elimination/substitution, for the controllable synthesis of 2H-chromenes and 4H-chromenes has been developed.
