A new strategy for the enantioselective construction of chiral 2,3‐ cis ‐dimethyldihydrobenzofurans has been developed by a ruthenium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α‐aryloxybutanone via dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR), combined with a palladium‐catalyzed intramolecular reductive Heck cyclization. Starting from optically active 2,3‐ cis ‐dimethyldihydrobenzofuran, the natural products (+)/(−)‐PI‐220 and (+)‐3‐ epi ‐furaquinocin C were synthesized in high yields.
