Microbial hydroxylation of o-bromophenylacetic acid provided 2-bromo-5-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. This enabled a route to the key intermediate 4-bromo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran for synthesizing a melatonin receptor agonist and sodium hydrogen exchange compounds. Pd-mediated coupling reactions of 4-bromo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran provided easy access to the 4-substituted-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans.

Fine-tuning: Three types of optically active trans-2,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans having three contiguous stereogenic centers can be efficiently accessed by one-pot reaction cascades (see scheme; TMS = trimethylsilyl). High substitution diversity of the final products can be achieved from the same common precursors

(-)-Conocarpan (1) was synthesized by a method based on radical cyclization, and the absolute configuration was established by chemical degradation; the original 2R,3R-assignment to (+)-conocarpan should be reversed, as suggested by a later chiroptical study of model 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans.

2,3-Dihydrobenzofurans can be diastereoselectively prepared by condensation of aromatic aldehydes with 2,3-dihydrobenzoxasilepines under the catalysis of Ag(I) complexes, and in the presence of a source of fluoride ion. The application of this strategy by using chiral catalysts leads to a

The effects of dietary administration of equimolar doses (5 mmol/kg body wt per day) of trimethylene oxide, trimethylene sulfide, coumaran, benzofuran, indole, and indole-3-carbinol on the activities of microsomal epoxide hydrolase and several other xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes were measured in
