Abstract

Enantioselective intramolecular conjugate addition reactions of short-lived C-O axially chiral enolates have been developed. The reactions proceeded with inversion of the configuration and provided dihydrobenzofurans with contiguous tetra- and trisubstituted carbon centers in up to 96% enantiomeric excess (ee).
