A new, non-symmetrical copper(II) pincer complex catalyzes much more efficiently the formation of benzofuran by the reaction between ortho-iodophenols and alkynes. The lowest catalyst loadings are realized for this reaction, and bromo- and chlorophenols are heteroannulated for the first time. Strong evidence for hydrophenoxylation and intramolecular halogen atom-transfer steps catalyzed by this remarkably active, recyclable homogeneous catalyst is provided.

The cyclopentabenzofuran ring system of the antileukemic natural product rocaglamide can be efficiently prepared by intramolecular radical mediated addition.The sterochemical relationship that emerges between C(2) and C(3) upon cyclization is identical with that seen in the natural product.
