Palladium-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of 3-substituted propargylic carbonates with phenols: Synthesis of 2-substituted benzofuran derivatives

Synthesis of substituted naphtho[1,2-b]benzofuran-7(8H)-ones via photoinduced rearrangement of 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives

A simple and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of substituted naphtho[1,2-b]benzofuran-7(8H)-ones based on the photorearrangement reaction of 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives.
