Copper-promoted hydration and annulation of 2-fluorophenylacetylene derivatives: from alkynes to benzo[b]furans and benzo[b]thiophenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient copper-promoted hydration reaction and its application in the synthesis of benzo[b]furan and benzo[b]thiophene derivatives is presented starting from readily available 2-fluorophenylacetylene derivatives. The key annulation step involves the hydration of the C-F bond of 2-fluorophenylacetylene derivatives followed by an intramolecular annulation to afford benzo[b]furan and benzo[b]thiophene derivatives. Moreover, structurally important 2,2'-bisbenzofuran scaffolds are provided in good yields.

Copper-catalyzed direct alkylation of heteroarenes.
An efficient and broadly applicable process is reported for the direct alkylation of C-H bonds in heteroarenes, privileged scaffolds in many areas of science. This reaction is based on the copper-catalyzed addition of alkyl radicals generated from activated secondary and tertiary alkyl bromides to a wide range of arenes, including furans, thiophenes, pyrroles, and their benzo-fused derivatives,...

A series of benzo[b]furan derivatives having a five-membered heterocyclic substituent at the 2-position were prepared from 2-(1-chloro-2-formylvinyl)benzo[b]furans (2) and 2-(4-alkylcarbamoylbuta-1,3-dienyl)benzo[b]furans. These 2-heterocyclic benzo[b]furans were evaluated for their cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (cysLT1, cysLT2) inhibitory activity. Several compounds showed moderate inhibition...

A new route to regioselectively dialkoxy-functionalized benzo[b]furan derivatives has been developed from 3-halo-2-iodoanisoles bearing an additional methoxy group, which have been accessed through an ortho-zincation/iodination reaction. Two palladium-catalyzed processes, namely a Sonogashira coupling followed by a tandem hydroxylation/cyclization sequence, give rise to new and interesting dime...
