Pd-catalytic C-S activation was successfully applied to initiate the cross-coupling of (2-methylthio-3-ester)benzofurans with 2-hydroxyphenylboronic acids and sequential intramolecular transesterification process under Liebeskind-Srogl conditions. Thus, a novel [3 + 3] annulation strategy for efficient synthesis of coumestan derivatives has been developed from readily available starting materials.

A method to prepare a variety of substituted 3-acyl-5-hydroxybenzofurans efficiently that relies on copper(II) triflate-catalyzed cycloaddition of unactivated 1,4-benzoquinones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds is reported. The reaction was shown to be operationally straightforward and proceeds expediently under mild conditions to give the corresponding products in good to excellent yields (up to 95%) and with complete regioselectivity.
