title: Ylide hydrolysis in tandem reactions: a highly Z/E-selective access to 3-alkylidene dihydrobenzofurans and related analogues.
abstract: An efficient synthetic approach to benzoheterocycles has been developed based on the hydrolysis of key ylide intermediates in a tandem reaction, upon which a variety of 3-alkylidene dihydrobenzofurans and related benzoheterocyclic products can be obtained in high yields with excellent Z/E selectivity.
