AN OPTIMIZED SYNTHETIC PROTOCOL FOR BIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT, HIGHLY FUNCTIONALIZED BENZOFURANS
AbstractWe report here the optimization of an oxidative Michael addition protocol for the synthesis of highly functionalized, biologically relevant benzofurans on gram scale. Rigorous screening of reaction conditions including solvent, atmosphere, base and incubation time, and development of a straight forward precipitation step afforded benzofurans in greater than 95% purity for direct use in biological assays.
