A new bifunctional phosphine catalyst, (2'-hydroxy-biphenyl-2-yl)-diethylphosphane (LBBA-1), was developed for the highly stereoselective synthesis of cis-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans via an aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman/umpolung addition domino reaction of salicyl N-thiophosphinyl imines with electron-deficient allenes. Dual activation of both nucleophile and electrophile by the bifunctional catalyst

A novel synthesis of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene-5-ol based on intramolecular homolytic substitution on sulfur was reported. The "antioxidant profile" of the series of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-5-ol (2a) its 1-thio (2b), 1-seleno (2c) and 1-telluro (2d) analogues was determined by studies of redox properties, the

Microbial hydroxylation of o-bromophenylacetic acid provided 2-bromo-5-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. This enabled a route to the key intermediate 4-bromo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran for synthesizing a melatonin receptor agonist and sodium hydrogen exchange compounds. Pd-mediated coupling reactions of 4-bromo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran provided easy access to the 4-substituted-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans.

Fine-tuning: Three types of optically active trans-2,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans having three contiguous stereogenic centers can be efficiently accessed by one-pot reaction cascades (see scheme; TMS = trimethylsilyl). High substitution diversity of the final products can be achieved from the same common precursors
