An NHC-catalyzed hetero-Diels-Alder and isomerization process of chalcones with allenoates was discovered, which furnished highly functionalized multisubstituted pyranyl carboxylates successfully. This method features a convergent assembly, mild reaction conditions, moderate to good yields, and high atom economy.
