One-Pot Preparation of 2-Arylbenzofurans from Oximes with Diaryliodonium Triflate
摘要:
A variety of 2-arylbenzofurans were obtained in good yields by the O-arylation of oximes with diaryliodonium triflates, followed by the treatment with HCl in dioxane under warming conditions through the [3,3]-sigmatropic reaction. The present reaction is one-pot transition metal-free method for the preparation of various 2-arylbenzofurans from oximes, which are easily available from the reaction of alkyl aryl ketones with hydroxylamine
