α-arylation of 2-arylacetates and benzofuran-2-one with tricarbonyl(fluoroarene)chromium complexes
In order to synthesise fragments of the natural product diazonamide A, α-arylation of 2-arylacetates 3 and benzofuran-2-one with the aid of the tricarbonyl(fluoroarene)chromium complex rac-2 was investigated. After decomplexation of the products rac-4 and
