Reaction of chalcones with NBS, a simple one pot synthesis of 2-aroylbenzo[b]furanes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608004609

A simple one pot synthesis of 2-aroylbenzo[b]furanes has been achieved by bromomethoxylation with NBS and subsequent treatment of the appropriately substituted 2-hydroxychalcones with sodium hydroxide.
