- Zeolite-catalyzed synthesis of 2,3-unsubstituted benzo[b]furans via the intramolecular cyclization of 2-aryloxyacetaldehyde acetals
-
An efficient and environmentally benign heterogeneous catalytic process for the synthesis of 2,3-unsubstituted benzo[b]furans has been established via the intramolecular cyclization of 2-aryloxyacetaldehyde acetals. By utilizing tin-exchanged H-β zeolite (Sn-β) as catalyst, a wide range of functionalized 2,3-unsubstituted benzo[b]furans could be prepared in good to excellent yields. The Sn-β zeolite catalyst also exhibited excellent shape selectivity on the cyclization of meta-substituted 2-aryloxyacetaldehyde acetals, and 6-substituted isomers were preferably formed up to 97% regio-selectivity. Moreover, Sn-β zeolite could be easily recovered and reused without any noticeable activity loss.

- Palladium/P(t-Bu)3-catalyzed synthesis of aryl t-butyl ethers and application to the first synthesis of 4-chlorobenzofuran
-
Pd/P(t-Bu)3 catalyzed reaction of aryl halides with sodium t-butoxide effectively to give aryl t-butyl ethers. The high catalytic activity realized the formation of aryl t-butyl ethers from not only electron-deficient aryl halides but also electron-rich aryl halides. Moreover, the first synthesis of 4-chlorobenzofuran was attained utilizing the selective mono-t-butoxylation of aryl dihalide.
