Abstract

A variety of 2-arylbenzo [b] furans are readily prepared in good to excellent yields from the cyclization of o-(1-alkynyl) anisole derivatives under mild reaction conditions using an alcoholic media, p-toluenesulfonic acid under microwave irradiation. Starting from the corresponding o-(1-alkynyl) thioanisole derivatives, this friendly and environmentally free- metal procedure has been successfully extended to the synthesis of benzo [b] thiophenes. ...
