A sequence of Sonogashira coupling, Pd(II)-catalyzed carbonylative annulation, and benzofuran reduction (Mg, MeOH, NH4Cl) provides a convergent and modular synthetic route to trans-2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan- 3-carboxylates, which are a structural feature of numerous biologically active natural products. This versatile strategy was applied to the formal total synthesis of the anti-HIV natural product (+)-lithospermic acid.
