3-Disubstituted benzofurans were synthesized from acrolein dimer and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds by using N-bromosuccinimide as an oxidizing agent. The method was used to synthesize two commercial drug molecules, benzbromarone and amiodarone. The proposed mechanism of the reaction involves a N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)-assisted autotandem catalysis with Lewis acid catalyst. To proof the proposed mechanism

One-pot reactions involving acyl chlorides, phosphorusylides, and o-iodophenols with copper catalysis have been established for the rapid synthesis of functionalized benzofurans. With all of these easily available and stable reactants, the construction of the target products has been accomplished via tandem transformations involving a key C–C coupling, leading to the formation of one C(sp2)–C bond

A mild and general cycloaddition of arynes with iodonium ylides protocol has been developed for the synthesis of benzofurans. In the presence of CsF, ortho-silyl aryltriflates were reacted with iodonium ylides smoothly at room temperature in moderate to good yields.
