Development of novel transition metal-catalyzed synthetic approaches for the synthesis of a dihydrobenzofuran nucleus: a review

Abstract

The dihydrobenzofuran scaffolds demonstrate a wide range of biological activities. Several transition metals have been employed as catalysts for the efficacious synthesis of these structurally important frameworks.

Baeyer–Villiger oxidation: a promising tool for the synthesis of natural products: a review

“… 13 Fe catalysts are favorable because they are less harmful and easily available. Nowadays, efficient transformations can be carried out with high enantioselectivities by using chiral metal complexes 14–16 (transition metals 17 i.e. , Co, 18 Zr, 19–21 Pt, 12,22 Hf 23 or Cu 24 and non-transition metals i.e.…”
