摘要

Treatment of benzyl 2-halophenyl ethers with 3 equiv of t-BuLi results in Li-halogen exchange and lithiation at benzylic methylene simultaneously. These dianions do not undergo Wittig rearrangement and can be trapped with electrophiles. Their reactions with carboxylic esters afford the corresponding 2-aryl-3-hydroxy-2, 3-dihydrobenzo [b] furans as a mixture of diastereoisomers. Subsequent acid-catalyzed or mediated dehydration gives ...
