Since 6-isopropyl- (11) and 6-isobutyl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]dioxepin-3(4H)-one (12) instead of the expected marine odor had been reported to possess lily-of-the-valley notes, albeit weaker than benchmark odorants, the influence of a cyclopropyl ring instead of

A concise strategy is developed for the synthesis of isoflavans employing a Diels-Alder reaction between o-quinone methides and aryl-substituted enol ethers followed by reductive cleavage of the acetal group. The method is extended towards the total syntheses of equol, 3′-hydroxyequol and vestitol.
