Tetrahedron
Highly diastereoselective synthesis of tetrahydrobenzofuran derivatives by palladium-catalyzed reaction of propargylic esters with substituted β-dicarbonyl compounds
Reactions of propargylic esters with 2-substituted cyclohexane-1, 3-diones and 2- oxocyclohexanecarboxylic esters in the presence of palladium catalyst are described. Substituted tetrahydrobenzofuran derivatives having a quaternary carbon stereocenter were synthesized in a highly diastereoselective manner.
