Abstract

This research reports the successful asymmetric synthesis of both a 9-hydroxy-5′-methoxy-1,4-benzodioxane framework and a highly functionalised benzofuran scaffold. Both synthetically desirable structures are the result of a Lewis acid catalysed addition of an aryl nucleophile to 1,4-benzodioxane hemiacetals and offer a route towards the synthesis of a number of naturally occurring neolignans.
