Many of the methods for synthesizing derivatives of 2,3-diaryl benzofurans imply cyclodehydration of 1,2-diaryl 2-aryloxyethanones, leading often to a mixture of two isomers which differ by the presence of the aryl substituent at positions C-2 or C-3 of benzofuran.This isomerisation is explained by a competition between two possible mechanisms.Either a direct electrophilic substitution or the intermediate formation of an α-acylcarbenium ion.This study deals with the competition as determined by the substitution of aryl groups in the initial substrate.Each 2,3-diarylbenzofuran was synthesized previously using an unambiguous method.
