An alternative route for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzofurans is described by iodine(III)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of 2-hydroxystilbenes using 10 mol% (diacetoxyiodo)benzene [PhI(OAc)2] as catalyst in the presence of m-chloroperbenzoic acid. The 2-arylbenzofurans were isolated in good to excellent yields.

Synthesis

An ultrasound-assisted rapid synthesis of meta-terphenyls 9 by the carbanion-induced ring transformation reaction of 6-aryl-5-methyl-2H-pyran-2-ones 7 with functionalized ketones 8 under basic conditions at room temperature has been delineated. The present method gives an easy access to functionally crowded m-terphenyls 9 with notable features including mild reaction condition, remarkable functional groups tolerance, shorter reaction time and high product yields. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
