Abstract

Gold(III)-catalyzed formal [3+2] cycloaddition of p-quinones with 1-phenylpropenes in an ionic liquid, [EMIM][NTf2], enabled environmentally friendly, stereoselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran neolignans in good yields. Moreover, the recycle of tThe gold catalyst in /ionic liquid was achievedcould be recycled at least five times, affording 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran in good yields.
