Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Asymmetric Oxidative Dearomatization of Naphthols with Quinones
dataset

oxidative dearomatization of naphthols
with quinones catalyzed by a chiral spirocyclic phosphoric acid is
described. The strategy provides concise access to enantioenriched
cyclohexadienones with a quinone moiety. Remarkably, the obtained
products could be easily transformed to a potentially useful dihydronaphtho[2,1-b]benzofuran scaffold.
