Unexpected migration of a benzoyl group in the intramolecular Wittig reaction of o-acyloxybenzylidenephosphoranes with benzoyl chlorides: One-pot synthesis of isomeric 3-benzoyl-2-phenylbenzofurans

The reaction of o-acyloxybenzylidenetriphenylphosphoranes with substituted benzoyl chlorides in an aprotic solvent led, together with the expected 2-phenylbenzofuran, to isomeric 3-benzoyl-2-phenylbenzofuran derivatives. This result formally corresponds to intramolecular migration of the benzoyl group from the ortho oxygen atom to the ylide carbanion via cyclization and ring opening of the starting o-acyloxybenzylidenetriphenylphosphoranes.

The synthesis of 2-aryl/alkylbenzofurans has been achieved in high yields under photochemical conditions from readily accessible and suitably substituted phosphonium bromides by an intramolecular photochemical Wittig reaction onto aryloxycarbonyl groups.
