A straightforward enantioselective synthesis of F17807

An efficient approach for the enantioselective synthesis of the 1,4-benzodioxane F17807 drug is reported. The developed route relied on two key steps, namely SNAr and Mitsunobu reactions, which permitted a straightforward access to the title compound with full preservation of the enantiomeric excess throughout the synthetic sequence.
