Direct Oxidative Heck Cyclizations: Intramolecular Fujiwara-Moritani Arylations for the Synthesis of Functionalized Benzofurans and Dihydrobenzofurans

Abstract

No extra functionalization step is required for palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative carbocyclizations like that shown, which provide highly substituted benzofuran and dihydrobenzofuran derivatives by net dehydrogenation. The mechanism is similar to that of Heck cyclizations. Products containing quaternary carbon stereocenters can be obtained in diastereomerically pure form.
