Operationally simple, efficient, and widely applicable Pummerer annulations of simple phenols with ketene dithioacetal monoxides, with the aid of trifluoroacetic anhydride, have been shown to provide a variety of benzofurans having a methylthio group at the 2-position. Subsequent and newly developed nickel-catalyzed arylation at the methylthio group culminates in diversity-oriented synthesis of multisubstituted benzofurans. Our extended Pummerer annulation/cross-coupling sequence is powerful enough to synthesize biologically active natural products as well as highly fluorescent benzofuran derivatives.
Two-step, practical, and diversity-oriented synthesis of multisubstituted benzofurans from phenols through Pummerer annulation followed by cross-coupling

Practical and diversity-oriented synthesis of multisubstituted benzofurans has been accomplished from simple phenols through a Pummerer annulation/cross-coupling sequence. Operationally simple and rapid reactions of phenols with ketene dithioacetal monoxides (KDMs) with the aid of trifluoroacetic anhydride provide the corresponding 2-methylsulfanylbenzo[b]furans. The scope of the reaction encompasses phenols and KDMs having a broad range of substituents. The remaining methylsulfanyl group in the annulation products is converted to various aryl groups through cross-coupling reactions that we improved specially to this end. This two-step approach to multisubstituted benzofurans is powerful enough to synthesize highly fluorescent benzofuran derivatives as well as the naturally occurring Eupomatenoid family.

Regioselective C-C-bond formation reactions at 2,3-dibromobenzofuran (1) and 2,3,5-tribromobenzofuran (6) were studied. Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira and Negishi cross-coupling occurred with perfect regioselectivity at carbon atom C-2 to provide 2-substituted 3-bromobenzofurans (12, 14) and 3,5-dibromobenzofurans (17, 18) in 50-91% yield. A regioselective displacement of the bromine substituents in 3,5-dibromobenzofurans 18 was achieved by a halogen-metal exchange reaction at carbon atom C-3 and by a Nicatalyzed Kumada cross-coupling at C-5. The methodology was applied to the synthesis of eupomatenoids 3, 4, 5, 6, and 15 (5). The synthesis of these compounds was achieved in overall yields of up to 60%.

Six different eupomatenoids (1a-c, 1f-h) were prepared from 2,3,5-tribromobenzofuran (2) in a concise and high-yielding synthetic sequence. The overall yields vary between 29 and 60% over four to six steps. Key to the success of the syntheses is the high

A group of eupomatenoids, natural lignans possessing 2-aryl-3-methyl-5-propenylbenzofuran structures have been synthesized by short pathways which include the intramolecular Wittig reaction of an o-bromoethylaryl benzoate ester as a key step.
