Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Dearomatization of 2-Nitrobenzofurans through Formal (3+2) Cycloadditions with Vinylcyclopropanes: A Straightforward Access to Cyclopenta[ b ]benzofurans

In the context of the palladium-catalyzed dearomatization of electron-poor arenes, we report herein that various 2-nitrobenzofurans efficiently undergo a dearomative (3+2) cycloaddition with vinylcyclopropanes. This new method gives access to a wide variety of cyclo-penta[ b ]benzofuran derivatives in a straightforward manner.

Potassium trinitromethanide as a 1,1-ambiphilic synthon equivalent: Access to 2-nitroarenofurans

The first example of the use of potassium trinitromethanide as a 1,1-ambiphilic synthon equivalent for the construction of a benzofuran moiety mediated by triethylamine has been developed. The method tolerates a variety of functional groups on the starting quaternary ammonium salt and has been successfully extended to polysubstituted benzofurans. Formation of an o-quinone methide intermediate is postulated as a key to the mechanism of this cascade process.
