Benzofurans functionalized with hydroxy and acetyl functionalities are not only the core structures found in a large number of biologically important natural products, but also the vital precursors for several naturally occurring furanoflavonoids. Numerous synthetic methodologies are available in the literature for the synthesis of functionalized benzofurans but access to benzofurans with adjacent hydroxy and acetyl functionalities shows paucity of references. In this paper we report highly convenient synthesis of nature-mimicking benzofurans and their dimers from easily accessible precursors.
羟基和乙酰基官能化的苯并呋喃不仅是大量生物活性天然产物中的核心结构,也是多种天然存在的呋喃黄酮类化合物的重要前体。文献中提供了许多合成官能化苯并呋喃的方法,但关于邻位羟基和乙酰基官能化苯并呋喃的文献却很少。本文中,我们报道了从易得的前体出发,高度便捷地合成仿生苯并呋喃及其二聚体的方法。
