The benzofurans and naphthofurans so far were obtained either by using catalyst or as side products. In the present investigation we are reporting first time the exclusive formation of only 3-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-methylbenzofuran and 3-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-naphthofuran in quantitative yield by adopting the Nenitzescu reaction. Further, these 5-hydroxybenzofuran and 5-hydroxy-naphthofuran were converted to their corresponding 5-methoxyl/ 5-methoxycarbonylmethoxy derivatives.
