Titanium tetrachloride promoted cyclodehydration of aryloxyketones: Facile synthesis of benzofurans and naphthofurans with high regioselectivity

An efficient and facile method for the synthesis of a broad series of benzofurans and naphthofurans is described. The direct intramolecular cyclodehydration of aryloxyketones in the presence of titanium tetrachloride affords the corresponding benzofurans and naphthofurans with good regioselectivity and yields.

TBAI/TBHP mediated oxidative cross coupling of ketones with phenols and carboxylic acids: Direct access to benzofurans

TBAI/TBHP mediated oxidative cross coupling of phenols and carboxylic acids with ketones has been reported under metal-free, base free, solvent free conditions enabling environmentally benign synthesis of aryloxyketones, acyloxy ketones and benzofurans. Phenoxyketones and acyloxylcarbonyl compounds were synthesized in good to high yields, where as benzofurans were synthesized in moderate yields. This method is operationally simple, works under mild conditions, using commercially available as well as inexpensive TBAI and an oxidant TBHP.
