Abstract

The palladium catalyzed, atom-economic synthesis of various functionalized 2- arylbenzofurans was achieved through cross-coupling reaction of 2-bromobenzofurans with triarylbismuth reagents. The palladium catalytic protocol is very efficient to furnish various cross-coupled functionalized 2-arylbenzofurnas in high yields using triarylbismuth reagents with three aryl couplings as multi-coupling organometallic nucleophiles in one-pot ...
