This approach increased the conversion rate of cycloetherification and also widened the scope of this particular reaction for various substituted keto phenols with electron withdrawing as well as electron donating functionalities. The use of a surfactant in the cycloetherification reaction increased the yield of the corresponding enantioselective dihydrobenzofuran four times. The conversion rate of keto phenols into their corresponding dihydrobenzofuran derivatives was proportional to the concentration of the surfactant used in the reaction.展开更多
