Herein we report the enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation of acyclic E and Z-alkenyl aryl ethers. The reactions were carried out under mild conditions affording the enantioenriched benzyl ethers in a regioselective manner, moderate to good yields (up to 73%), and in good to excellent enantiomeric ratios (up to 97:3). The enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation has shown a broad scope (25 examples), and some key Heck-Matsuda adducts were further converted into more complex and valuable scaffolds including their synthetic application in the synthesis of (R)-Fluoxetine, (R)-Atomoxetine, and in the synthesis of an enantioenriched benzo[c]chromene. Finally, in silico mechanistic investigations into the reaction's enantioselectivity were performed using density functional theory. (Figure presented.).

A method for the preparation of aryl α,α-difluoroethyl thioethers (ArSCF2CH3) is reported and the synthesis approach is extended to aryl α,α-difluoroethyl oxygen ethers. Selected building blocks are further elaborated in cross-coupli
Metal-free oxidative cyclization of alkynyl aryl ethers to benzofuranones

Readily available phenols can be converted into substituted aryl alkynyl ethers, which react with an N-oxide as an oxidant and catalytic amounts of a Bronsted acid to provide benzofuranones. If non-terminal alkynyl ethers are applied, a 1,2-hydride shift takes place and phenyl acrylates are obtained. Thus activated alkynes can serve as α-oxy carbene precursors even in the absence of a metal catalyst. Copyright
