The research focuses on the regioselective synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted and 2,3,5-trisubstituted benzofurans, which are structural motifs found in many biologically active compounds, through Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The purpose of the study was to develop a method for the selective functionalization of benzofuran derivatives, particularly at the 2-position, and to apply this methodology to a short synthesis of eupomatenoid-15, a naturally occurring benzofuran. The researchers found that initial Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings preferentially occurred at the 2-position, and subsequent Pd- or Ni-catalyzed reactions at less reactive positions were possible. They also discovered that a halogen-metal exchange at low temperature was more selective than a Pd- or Ni-catalyzed process for differentiating between the 3- and 5-positions. Key chemicals used in the process included 2,3-dibromobenzofuran (1), 2,3,5-tribromobenzofuran (2), various alkynes, palladium and nickel catalysts, copper iodide, triethylamine, and tert-butyl lithium, among others. The study concluded with the successful synthesis of eupomatenoid-15, demonstrating the applicability of the developed methodology for the synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted benzofurans.
