Abstract

A transition metal-free, diastereospecific reaction between substituted (Z)-1,2-dibromo-3-phenyl-2-propenes and substituted catechols using Cs2CO3 as a base at 140 °C for 18 h delivers exclusively substituted (Z)-2-arylidene-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxines in yields up to 89%. Experiments as well as quantum chemical calculations support the assumption that the one pot transformation proceeds as an intermolecular O-allylation/intramolecular O-vinylation.
