Abstract
An operationally simple and robust method for the direct arylation and ring closure of benzofurans is reported. Besides the mild conditions and good reaction yields, the methodology is applicable for a wide range of derivatives using commercially available aryl iodides with complete C2 regioselectivity. The reaction is proposed to follow a Heck-type oxyarylation mechanism. The facile synthesis method will enable the development of new materials for diverse applications in biology and catalysis and as precursors for organic semiconductors.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
