One-Pot Synthesis of Benzofurans via Palladium-Catalyzed Enolate Arylation with o-Bromophenols
摘要:
A one-pot synthesis of benzofurans which utilizes a palladium-catalyzed enolate arylation is described. The process demonstrates broad substrate scope and provides differentially substituted benzofurans in moderate to excellent yields. The utility of the method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of the natural product eupomatenoid 6 in three steps.

palladium(II) acetate provide an efficient catalytic system for the α-arylation of ketones. Aryl bromides were coupled with ketones using 0.25–0.5 mol-% Pd(OAc)2/DTBNpP in toluene at 50 °C, whereas aryl chlorides required a higher catalyst loading (0.5–2.0 mol-%) and a higher temperature (80 °C). Coupling of 2-bromophenol with ketones using the Pd/DTBNpP system provides an efficient route for the synthesis
Relay rhodium(I)/Brønsted acid catalysis for tandem arylation−cyclization reaction was developed. Chemodivergent syntheses of benzo-2H-pyrans and benzofurans from propargyl alcohols and ortho-hydroxylated arylboronic acids were achieved under this relay catalysis system. An ortho-hydroxy effect on changing the chemoselectivity and reactivity was observed.
