Synthesis of substituted benzofurans by the tandem one-pot intramolecular carbolithiation-cyclization-substitution sequence
A convenient methodology for the synthesis of 3-sustituted-2,3- dihydrobenzofurans was developed based on the tandem intramolecular carbolithiation-cyclization of 2-bromophenyl-3-phenylprop-2-enyl ether, followed by trapping of the new lithiated intermediate by suitable electrophiles. Several electr...

| Sumario: | A convenient methodology for the synthesis of 3-sustituted-2,3- dihydrobenzofurans was developed based on the tandem intramolecular carbolithiation-cyclization of 2-bromophenyl-3-phenylprop-2-enyl ether, followed by trapping of the new lithiated intermediate by suitable electrophiles. Several electrophiles were tested, affording good to excellent yields. Alkyl bromides show better results than chlorides and when doubly halogenated alkyl chains are used as electrophiles only one position reacts, affording substituted benzofurans conveniently functionalized to undergo further reactions. The performance of both butyl and phenyllithium as lithiating agents was examined. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
