HFIP-Assisted Electrochemical Annulation of Enaminones with Phenols for the Selective Synthesis of 7-Aryloxy and 5-Hydroxy Benzofurans

Abstract The electrochemical annulation reactions between enaminones and phenol derivatives have been achieved for the selective synthesis of 7-aryloxy benzofurans and 5-hydroxy benzofurans. With an electron-donating group (EDG), such as alkoxy or amino-functionalized phenols as...
