Reductive rearrangement of 2-aroyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans into 2-hydroxydihydrochalcones and flav-2-enes

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

A two-step procedure was proposed for the synthesis of 2-aryl- and 2,4-diaryl-substituted 4H-chromenes by the formal [4+1] cycloaddition reaction of o-quinone methides and pyridinium ylides followed by reductive rearrangement of 2-aroyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans by the action of zinc in acetic acid or samarium and trimethylchlorosilane in 1,4-dioxane. The reduction of 3-unsubstituted 2-aroyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans by the action of zinc in acetic acid leads mainly to 2-hydroxydihydrochalcones.
