A new bifunctional phosphine catalyst, (2'-hydroxy-biphenyl-2-yl)-diethylphosphane (LBBA-1), was developed for the highly stereoselective synthesis of cis-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans via an aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman/umpolung addition domino reaction of salicyl N-thiophosphinyl imines with electron-deficient allenes.

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.
