AbstractA Lewis acid catalyzed regioselective C-C bond is constructed through beta-addition of deconjugated butenolides with p-quinone methides in a 1,6-conjugate addition manner. Interestingly, Lewis acid catalyzed vinylogous Mukaiyama-Michael reaction of silyloxyfurans with p-QMs proceeds selectively through the alpha or gamma position exclusively. The reaction is mild with broad substrate scope, thus allowing easy access to a wide range of bis-arylated alpha-/beta-/gamma-substituted butenolides.
