Abstract
2,3-Disubstituted benzo[b]furans are readily prepared under very mild reaction conditions by the Sonogashira coupling of various o-iodoanisoles and terminal alkynes, followed by an electrophilic cyclization. Aryl- and vinylic-substituted alkynes give cyclization products in excellent yields.
