  • Title: Facile synthesis of benzofurans via copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cyclization of phenols and alkynes.

    Abstract:
    Regioselective synthesis of polysubstituted benzofurans using a copper catalyst and molecular oxygen from phenols and alkynes in a one-pot procedure has been reported. The transformation consists of a sequential nucleophilic addition of phenols to alkynes and oxidative cyclization. A wide variety of phenols and alkynes can be used in the same manner.
