Abstract
We have developed two practical one-step syntheses of 2, 3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2- hydroxyalkylbenzofurans from readily available optically pure α, β-epoxy aldehydes. Electron-deficient resorcinols react with epoxy aldehydes using either Cs2CO3 in DMF or KOH/CaCl2 in MeOH to give adducts 13, 16, 18, 20, 21, and brosimacutin G (6t). Grignard reagents prepared by low-temperature halogen-metal exchange of acetoxy ...
