Lewis acidic nature of boron trichloride (BCl3) to coordinate to the carbonyl functionality was exploited for the synthesis of benzofurans via dehydrative cyclization. This mild and efficient procedure allowed for facile access to a number Of highly Substituted benzofurans in a regioselective manner. The Structural requirement for the successful cyclodehydration was examined in the cases, where competitive demethylation could occur. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

benzofuran core through a cascade of copper‐catalyzed processes wherein the key carbon atom comes from the dimethylacetamide (DMA) solvent. Strong evidence for the participation of a Wacker cyclization catalyzed solely by copper is provided, not only in the title reaction from benzophenones but also from 2‐hydroxy‐α‐arylstyrene derivatives.
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) participates in diverse cancer-associated signaling pathways, playing an oncogenic role in multiple human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our recent works clarify that Pin1 modulates miRNAs biogenesis by interacting with ERK-phosphorylated exportin-5 (XPO5) and changing XPO5 conformation, giving a potential target for HCC treatment. Herein, we discover 4,6-bis(benzyloxy)-3-phenylbenzofuran (TAB29) as a novel Pin1 inhibitor that targets Pin1 PPIase domain. TAB29 potently inhibits Pin1 activity with the IC50 value of 874 nM and displays an excellent selectivity toward Pin1 in vitro. Cell-based biological evaluation reveals that TAB29 significantly suppresses cell proliferation of HCC cells through restoring the nucleus-to-cytoplasm export of XPO5 and upregulating mature miRNAs expression. Collectively, this work provides a promising small molecule lead compound for Pin1 inhibition, highlighting the therapeutic potential of miRNA-based treatment for human cancers.
