An improved method for the synthesis of 2-(p-halobenzyl)-3-aryl-6-methoxybenzofurans as selective ligands for the antiestrogen-binding sites

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308011285

A series of 2-(p-fluorobenzyl)-3-aryl-6-methoxybenzofurans has been prepared in good yields in a two-step sequence from the corresponding benzylidencoumaranones (aurones).
