Condensation of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene carboxaldehydes with various aryl acetic acids followed by esterification of the acid intermediate afforded the 2,3-diaryl acrylates in good overall yields. Reduction of the esters with diisobutylaluminium hydride afforded the allylic alcohols, which underwent a smooth Eschenmoser-Claisen [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement on exposure to N,N-dimethylacetamide dimethylacetal in the presence of tetra n-butylammonium fluoride as catalyst to give 3,4-diaryl ,-unstaturated amides in excellent yields.
