Benzopyran and benzodihydropyran (chromane) nuclei are the core structure of many natural products, in particular flavonoids. Many compounds possessing this structure are nutraceuticals, pharmaceutical nutrients. Therefore, benzopyran and chromane scaffolds are important building blocks in organic synthesis and many efforts have been made to set up efficient methods for their synthesis. In particular, asymmetric methods are of great importance, being natural products, and generally chiral substances. This review aims to cover literature in the range 2017–first half of 2019.

Synthetic Approaches

1,3-Enynes are important building blocks in organic synthesis and also constitute the key motif in various bioactive natural products and functional materials. However, synthetic approaches to stereodefined substituted 1,3-enynes remain a challenge, as they are limited to Wittig and cross-coupling reactions. Herein, stereodefined 1,3-enynes, including tetrasubstituted ones, were straightforwardly synthesized from cis or trans-alkynylated oxiranes in good to excellent yields by a one-pot cascade process. The procedure relies on oxirane deprotonation, borylation and a stereospecific rearrangement of the so-formed alkynyloxiranyl borates. This stereospecific process overall transfers the cis or trans-stereochemistry of the starting alkynyloxiranes to the resulting 1,3-enynes.

A one-pot, direct reductive acetylation of aldehydes was achieved under mild conditions using 1-hydrosilatrane as a safe and easily accessible catalyst. Described herein is a facile synthesis that produces acylated primary alcohols that can serve as valuable building blocks for organic synthesis. The method has good functional group tolerance and works for a range of aryl aldehydes, with the notable exception of electron-rich arenes. A library of esters was isolated by flash chromatography in yields as high as 92%.

Benzofuranone is a sort of important skeleton in many fields, such as natural products, pharmaceuticals, building blocks, antioxidants and dyes. Their efficient synthesis and transformations have attracted great attentions in organic synthesis. They can be synthesized by Friedel−Crafts reaction, intramolecular dehydration ring-closing reaction and transition-metal-catalyzed reaction, etc. And their direct utilization to prepare other functional molecules enhances their further application. Due to their low pKa value and easy enolization ability, the transformation of benzofuranones via C(3)-H bond functionalization is a hot issue in the last ten years. Herein, we highlight the advances on the synthesis of benzofuranones and its transformation via C-H functionalization. Some of other transformations related to benzofuranones are also referred in this review.
