A Diastereoselective Route to trans-​2-​Aryl-​2,​3-​dihydrobenzofurans through Sequential Cross-​Metathesis​/Isomerization​/Allylboration Reactions: Synthesis of Bioactive Neolignans

Résumé

A new highly diastereoselective synthetic route to trans-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran systems, in particular those bearing an aryl substituent at the C2 position, is described. The cornerstone of our strategy is the implementation of a cross-metathesis/isomerization/allylboration sequence starting from 2-allyl-substituted phenols and aldehydes. After an intramolecular Mitsunobu cyclization step, the anti-homoallylic alcohols allow the synthesis of the desired skeleton in a stereoselective fashion. As an illustration, we used this strategy for the preparation of the dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (1a), a natural dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, as well as for a formal synthesis of its O-demethylated derivative 1b. An enantioselective version of this approach employing a chiral phosphoric acid in the allylboration step is also studied.
