The direct synthesis of isoflavans VIA α-alkylation of phenylacetates

Deprotonation of oxygenated phenylacetates and quenching of the enolates with oxygenated benzylic electrophiles, afforded 2,3-diarylpropanoates which served as precursors to the isoflavans following consecutive reduction and cyclization steps.
