Enantioselective hydrogenation of furans and benzofurans remains a challenging task. We report the hydrogenation of 2- and 3-substituted furans by using iridium catalysts that bear bicyclic pyridine-phosphinite ligands. Excellent enantioselectivities and high conversions were obtained for monosubstituted furans with a 3-alkyl or 3-aryl group. Furans substituted at the 2-position and 2,4-disubstituted furans proved to be more difficult substrates. The best results (80-97% conversion, 65-82% enantiomeric excess) were obtained with monosubstituted 2-alkylfurans and 2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan. Benzofurans with an alkyl substituent at the 2- or 3-position also gave high conversions and enantioselectivity, whereas 2-aryl derivatives showed essentially no reactivity. The asymmetric hydrogenation of a 3-methylbenzofuran derivative was used as a key step in the formal total synthesis of the cytotoxic naphthoquinone natural product (-)-thespesone.

The synthesis of 2-substituted furans via palladium- and iron-catalyzed coupling utilizing 2-bromofuran is described. Whereas palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling effectively provided the corresponding aryl furans, little or no product was obtained by palladium-catalyzed coupling with various alkyl nucleophiles. Iron-catalyzed coupling proved effective for the synthesis of primary and secondary alkyl furans in modest yields and aryl furans in low yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.
