Abstract

A facile synthesis of benzofulvenes was carried out starting from the Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts of 2-bromobenzaldehyde. The synthesis was carried out via the sequential bromination, Wittig reaction with aldehyde, and Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck reaction. The stereochemistry of benzofulvenes was dependent on the reaction condition, especially on the kinds of base and reaction time, and the substituent of starting materials.
