Oxidative decarboxylative ammonium hypoiodite-catalysed dihydrobenzofuran synthesis

Abstract

The catalytic use of quaternary ammonium iodides under oxidative conditions allows for the direct conversion of readily available β-ketolactones into dihydrobenzofurans via a decarboxylative oxidative cycloetherification sequence facilitated by an in situ formed ammonium hypoiodite species.
