Abstract
Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 2-allyloxypropenoic esters (eg 7) gives benzo [b] furans (eg 32) in synthetically useful yields by sequential generation of a phenoxyl radical, cyclisation and ejection of the carboxylic ester function as a free radical leaving group. The method is compatible with a range of substituents on either the benzene ring or the propenoate chain, and is particularly effective for 2-substituted benzo [b] furans. The natural products 5- ...
