Intramolecular addition of an O-methyl C(sp3)?H bond across a carbon-carbon double bond occurs in the iridium-catalyzed reaction of methyl 2-(propen-2-yl)phenyl ethers. The Ir/(S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalyst promotes the reaction efficiently in toluene at 110–135 °C to afford 3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans. Enantioselective C(sp3)?H addition is achieved in the reaction of methyl 2-(1-siloxyethenyl)phenyl ethers, affording enantioenriched 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives with up to 96% ee.

A comprehensive study of the lipase-mediated resolution of substituted 2-aryl-propanols is reported. The latter alcohols were submitted to the irreversible acetylation catalyzed either by PPL, CRL, or lipase PS. The enantioselectivity of these transformations was dependent on the type of lipase used. The type of substituents and particularly their position on the aromatic ring strongly affected the selectivity of the reaction. The experiments described prove that PPL is the more versatile lipase catalyzing the acetylation with an enantiomeric ratio (E) value that ranges from 1 up to 144, depending on the substrate used. Conversely, the same transformations were catalyzed by CRL and lipase PS with an enantiomeric ratio value, which is always less than 5. The remarkable behavior of PPL was exploited in the large scale resolution of some substituted 2-aryl-propanols whose enantiomeric forms are relevant building blocks in the enantioselective synthesis of phenolic sesquiterpenes. By these means, the synthesis of (S)-turmeronol B and the formal syntheses of (R)-curcumene, (R)-curcuphenol, (R)-xanthorrhizol, and (R)-curcuhydroquinone were accomplished.

Using Grinard coupling as a key step, a facile synthetic approach to (±)-parahigginone methyl ether 1 and (±)-curcuphenol 2 has been achieved by five steps with 42.3% and 58.6% overall yield, respectively.
