Abstract
A synthesis of substituted dibenzo-fused 10-membered cyclic ethers is described. 2-Allylbenzyl alcohols and 2-allylphenols derived from isovanillin were coupled by the Mitsunobu reaction to construct intramolecular dienes with ether linkage. The resulting dienes were subsequently treated with Grubbs' catalyst to undergo ring-closing metathesis to give the desired cyclic ethers.
