Popis: We developed a method for highly selective synthesis of two benzofuran isomers, by rearranging and subsequently transforming 2-hydroxychalcones. Depending on the reaction conditions, synthesis of 3-formylbenzofurans, unconventional products, and 3-acylbenzofurans was achieved through cyclized 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans obtained from the rearranged products. The facile synthesis of 3-formylbenzofurans facilitated synthesis of the natural product, puerariafuran, from the corresponding chalcone.
