Construction of 2-Substituted-3-Functionalized Benzofurans via Intramolecular Heck Coupling: Application to Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Daphnodorin B
A novel approach was developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted-3-functionalized benzofurans, using an intramolecular Heckreaction which was further applied in the first enantioselectivetotalsynthesis of Daphnodorin B.
