Abstract
Various substituted 1,4-benzodioxines were synthesized through an Ullmann-type intramolecular Caryl-O coupling cyclization reaction using a catalytic amount of BINOL-CuI complex. This methodology was successfully utilized as the key step in the total synthesis of isovanillyl sweetening agents 5-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenol and 5-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxathiin-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenol in 15.8% and 14.85% overall yields in five steps from isovanillin.
