Intramolecular hydroarylationviaC-H activation is one of the most powerful methods to synthesize carbo- and heterocyclic compounds, whereas we still have room for developing a highly enantioselective variant of the reaction. Here we describe Ir-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular hydroarylation ofm-allyloxyphenyl ketones. The enantioselective cyclization was efficiently catalyzed by a cationic iridium complex coordinated with a conventional chiral bisphosphine ligand to give benzofurans in high yields with high enantioselectivity. A carbonyl group of ketones functioned as an effective directing group for the C-H activation. In terms of synthetic utility, we also achieved one-pot synthesis of chiral 3-substituted dihydrobenzofurans from readily available allylic carbonates andm-hydroxyacetophenonesviasequential Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution and Ir-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation.

A convenient palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction for the efficient synthesis of (E)-3-benzylidenechroman-4-ones has been developed. Using TFBen as a solid CO source, a range of substituted (E)-3-benzylidenechroman-4-ones were prepared in moderate to good yields with 2-iodophenols and allyl chlorides as the substrates. Additionally, substituted quinolin-4(1H)-ones can also be obtained with 2-iodoaniline as the starting material.
