Synthesis of 3-aryl-2-arylamidobenzofurans based on the curtius rearrangement
The synthesis of novel 3-aryl-2-arylamidobenzofurans has been accomplished via a Curtius rearrangement strategy in four steps from benzofuran-2-carboxylic acids. The requisite Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, with benzyl 3-bromobenzofuran-2-ylcarbamate or 2
