Abstract

Abstract Benzofurans functionalized with hydroxy and acetyl functionalities are not only the core structures found in a large number of biologically important natural products, but also the vital precursors for several naturally occurring furanoflavonoids. Numerous synthetic methodologies are available in the literature for the synthesis of functionalized benzofurans but access to benzofurans with adjacent hydroxy and acetyl functionalities shows paucity ...
