Abstract

An ortho-selective Sonogashira coupling of dichlorophenols and terminal alkynes, followed by cyclization and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in one pot enabled the synthesis of disubstituted benzo[b]furans using a palladium-dihydroxyterphenylphosphine (Cy-DHTP) catalyst. This protocol was also successfully applied to the one-pot synthesis of disubstituted indoles from dichloroaniline derivatives.
