Abstract

Neighbouring alkene group participation, resulting in isomerization, has been studied in reactions of some 2, 3 dihydrobenzofurans with hydrobromic acid (in acetic acid) and with paratoluene sulfonic acid (in benzene). It was found that these 2-vinyl cyclic ethers afford benzo-b furans and Δ 3-chromenes; the ratio of five-to six menbered ring products depending upon the reaction conditions and upon the number of methyl groups at the ...
