Abstract
Treatment of o-allyl phenols with catalytic NIS-PPh3 affords the corresponding spirodihydrobenzofuran derivatives in high yield with high regio- and total stereoselectivity under mild conditions. These results were utilized to achieve the first total synthesis of the protein kinase C inhibitor corallidictyal D starting from α-ionone.
