Reaction of benzyne with styrene oxide: Insertion of arynes into a C-O bond of epoxides

Benzyne inserts into one of the C-O bonds of styrene oxide to form a dihydrobenzofuran as the major product together with five other reaction products. A detailed study of the reaction mixture clarified an intriguing forty-year-old personal communication from Stiles and Haag. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
