Hypervalent Iodine Mediated Oxidative Cyclization of o-Hydroxystilbenes into Benzo- and Naphthofurans

Abstract

A new and convenient metal-free cyclization of ortho-hydroxystilbenes into 2-arylbenzofurans and 2-arylnaphthofurans mediated by hypervalent iodine reagents is described. The cyclization products are isolated in good to excellent yields using stoichiometric (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in acetonitrile.

Key words

benzofurans - cyclization - hypervalent iodine reagents - naphthofurans - stilbenes
