Oxygenated pterocarpans and 5-azapterocarpans are prepared utilizing Lewis acid-promoted reactions of 2-alkoxy-1,4-benzoquinones with 2H-chromenes and N-tosyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines, respectively. Similarly, benzannulated analogues are prepared via reactions of 5-aIkoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones with chromenes, and related 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans result from reactions of styrenes with the quinones. Syntheses of 5-thiapterocarpans are also described utilizing Pd(0)-coupling of o-chloromercuriophenols with 2H-chromenes.
