Highly efficient organic reactions in water are important for designing environmental-friendly and low cost synthetic processes. Herein, we demonstrate an intermediate-in-water strategy for the heterogeneous synthesis of benzofurans in aqueous media. The cyclization reaction of 2-(phenylethynyl)phenol to 2-phenylbenzofuran cannot proceed in pure water. However, this reaction can be efficiently promoted by the formation of sparingly soluble intermediate in the presence of alkaline. Quantitative conversion of a variety of substrates to benzofuran derivatives has been achieved in the absence of noble metal catalyst. Other remarkable features including easy-isolation and purification of product, along with wide range of functional group tolerance render the methodology promising in the realm of green-synthesis.

A catalytic approach to benzo[b]oxepines with high stereoselectivity by Au-catalyzed cyclization of (o-alkynyl)phenoxyacrylates with various nucleophiles under mild reaction conditions has been developed. Notably, the use of vinyl ether instead of alcohol could afford the same benzoxepines. The reaction may proceed by Au-catalyzed oligomerization of vinyl ether to release the alcohol, which then reacts with (o-alkynyl)phenoxyacrylates to furnish the benzoxepines.
