AbstractAn efficient C–C bond coupling reactions (Suzuki–Miyaura and Glaser) catalyzed by PdO/GO nano-catalyst is presented. In addition, PdO/MWCNT nano-catalyst-mediated domino one-pot synthesis of 2-alkyl/2-aryl benzofurans has been accomplished from 2-iodophenols and terminal alkynes. The formation of benzofurans proceeds through intermolecular Sonogashira reaction followed by intramolecular nucleophilic
Efficient heterogeneous Pd/CuFe2O4 nanowires which catalyze cross coupling transformations are described. The protocol is applied to a one-pot synthesis of benzofurans via Sonogashira coupling and an intramolecular etherification sequence.
We demonstrate the versatile use of the cyclopropylmethyl group to protect phenols through the totalsynthesis of two benzofuran‐based natural products, that is, anigopreissin A and the resveratrol–piceatannol hybrid. This protecting group is a good alternative to the conventional methyl group, owing to the feasibility of introduction, stability under a variety of conditions, and its relative ease
