Abstract

Acetylation/Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction/cyclization has been carried out in one-pot using a Na2PdCl4/2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)-N-phenylindole/CuI system in TMEDA to give 5- nitro-2-substituted benzo [b] furans in excellent yields. We also describe the extension of this method to 4-EWG-2-bromo-phenols obtaining 2, 5-disubstituted-benzo [b] furans in good yields.
