The reaction mechanism of chemical conversion of (E)-β-[2-hydroxylphenylethylene]benzeneethanol into 2-phenylbenzofuran by DDQ, which involves loss of one carbon unit, was characterized and described. Five naturally occurring 2-phenylbenzofurans of not only the isoflavonoid but also stilbenoid origin were synthesized by use of this chemical scheme, which proved that this new scheme is a useful tool for quick synthesis of 2-phenylbenzofurans.
A plausible chemical analogy for biosynthesis of 2-arylbenzofuran of isoflavonoid origin and its application to synthesis of vignafuran

Treatment of 2-hydroxy-isoflav-3-ene with acid afforded 2-arylbenzofuran in good yield, and a mechanism for this chemical conversion involving loss of one carbon unit was described. This reaction scheme was suggested as a plausible chemical analogy for th
