Abstract

Oxidation of 4-alkoxyphenols or 4-methoxynaphthol with phenyl iodonium(bis)trifluoroacetate (PIFA) in the presence of electron rich 2H-chromenes or dihydronaphthalenes affords pterocarpans or 5-carbapterocarpans via a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition process. Acid-catalyzed ionization of quinone dimethylmonoacetal in the presence of 7-methoxy-2H-chromene gave similar results, suggesting a phenoxonium ion intermediate in the oxidative process.
