H2-O-T! Aromatic O-heterocycles are a challenging substrates for asymmetric hydrogenation (H2). An in situ formed chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium complex allows the high yielding, completely regioselective, and highly asymmetric hydrogenation of substituted benzofurans at room Temperature, giving valuable 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans (see scheme).

A series of 2-aryldihydrobenzofuran derivatives were successfully synthesized from the corresponding carbonyl compounds and (2-bromobenzyl) trimethylsilane by the one-pot benzylation-substitution procedure. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
