A new and efficient method for the preparation of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran scaffolds with excellent enantioselectivities and high yields has been developed through the Cu/SPDO-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition between quinone ester and styrene derivatives. Moreover, the asymmetric synthesis of natural corsifurans A and B from commercially available starting materials has been accomplished in two or three steps using this reaction as a key transformation.
A new, efficient approach toward the preparation of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran scaffolds through the Cu/SPDO-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition between quinone ester and styrene derivatives has been developed. The procedure features excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), high yields (up to 96%), and broad substrate tolerance. Additionally, asymmetric synthesis of natural corsifurans A and B from commercially available starting materials has also been achieved in two or three steps using this reaction as a key transformation.
