摘要:
Acetylation/Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction/cyclization has been carried out in one-pot using a Na2PdCl4/2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)-N-phenylindole/Cul system in TMEDA to give 5-nitro-2-substituted benzo[b]furans in excellent yields. We also describe the extension of this method to 4-EWG-2-bromophenols obtaining 2,5-disubstituted-benzo[b]furans in good yields. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
