Cyclodehydration of α-phenoxy ketones promoted by Eaton’s reagent (phosphorus pentoxide–methanesulfonic acid) is used to prepare 3-substituted or 2,3-disubstituted benzofurans with moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. The method provides a facile access to benzofurans from readily available starting materials such as phenols and α-bromo ketones. The reaction is highly efficient, which is attributed to the good reactivity and fluidity of Eaton’s reagent. The reaction can be applied to prepare naphthofurans, furanocoumarins, benzothiophenes, and benzopyrans.
Dehydrative condensation of carbonyls with non-acidic methylenes enabled by light: Synthesis of benzofurans

Condensation of carbonyls with non-acidic methylenes such as those adjacent to heteroatoms and allylic types to generate CC bonds is challenging but highly desirable. Inventing novel methods that can accomplish such condensations can enrich synthetic chemists' toolbox. Herein, we report a simple, clean, and high yielding protocol promoted by light to achieve condensation of non-acidic methylenes with carbonyls. As examples to demonstrate the power of this methodology, one class of ubiquitous and highly important heterocycles, i.e. benzofurans, were synthesized with broad functional group compatibility. Furthermore, intermolecular condensations were also briefly investigated.

An efficient access to 2-substituted 3-arylbenzofurans through a palladium-catalyzed C3 direct arylation of 2-substituted benzofurans with aryl bromides is described. The scope and limitation of this reaction was studied. The method tolerates a variety of functional groups on the aryl halide and has been successfully extended to polysubstituted benzofurans to obtain the corresponding 3-arylbenzofurans with good to excellent yields.
Palladium catalyzed isomerization of alkenes: A pronounced influence of an o-phenol hydroxyl group

A novel palladium catalyzed isomerization of alkenes has been found, where an ortho-phenol hydroxyl group has a pronounced influence on the isomerization.
