Functionalized benzotrifurans can be accessed in one efficient acylation step from previously unreported benzotrifuranone. DFT calculations have confirmed the aromaticity of the heteroaromatic system and determined its electronic structure that is relevant to applications in materials and supramolecular chemistry.

One-pot synthesis of benzotripyrrole derivatives from 1H-pyrroles
Benzotripyrroles were synthesized in one step from functionalized pyrroles and computational studies reveal the reactivity of the pyrroles and stability of the benzotripyrroles.
Synthesis of unsymmetrical benzotrichalcogenophenes by N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium-catalyzed intramolecular direct C3-arylation of chalcogenophenes.
TLDR
This is the first time that a C3-direct arylation of selenophene and tellurophene moieties has ever been demonstrated.
Benzotrifuran (BTFuran): a building block for π-conjugated systems.
TLDR
This is the first synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, and derivatization of benzotrifuran (BTFuran), and α-Lithiation of BTFuran enables the preparation of reactive intermediates suitable for cross-coupling reactions.
Molecular multifunctionalization via electronically coupled lactones
Synthetic access to discrete multifunctionalized molecules remains a challenge but is critical for continued advances in materials science, catalysis, and chemical biology. Here, the aminolysis of…
Highly diastereo- and enantioselective Michael addition of 3-substituted benzofuran-2(3H)-ones to 4-oxo-enoates catalyzed by lanthanide(III) complexes.
An efficient lanthanide(III)-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective Michael addition of 3-substituted benzofuran-2(3H)-ones to 4-oxo-enoates was developed. The desired adducts with contiguous…
NHC-Catalyzed Organocatalytic Asymmetric Approach to 2,2-Disubstituted Benzofuran-3(2H)-ones Containing Fully Substituted Quaternary Stereogenic Center
TLDR
A series of chiral 2,2-disubstituted benzofuran-3(2H)-one derivatives with linear, branched, and cyclic aliphatic substitutions on the quaternary stereogenic center were obtained in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee.
Organocatalytic Asymmetric Branching Sequence of MBH Carbonates: Access to Chiral Benzofuran‐2(3H)‐one Derivatives with Three Stereocenters
An organocatalytic asymmetric branching sequence was realized in the presence of 10 mol% of (DHQD)2AQN, affording the sequential products with three stereocentres, including two quaternary carbon…
Five-Membered Ring Systems: Furans and Benzofurans
Furo[2,3- g]thieno[2,3- e]indole: Application of an Ynamide-Based Benzannulation Strategy to the Synthesis of a Tetracyclic Heteroaromatic Compound.
TLDR
The first synthesis of the tetracyclic aromatic compound furo[2,3- g]thieno[2-3- e]indole ("FTI") is described and a photochemical benzannulation based on the reaction of an α-diazo ketone and ynamide is described.
Synthesis of benzotrifuran and benzotripyrrole derivatives and molecular orientations on the surface and in the solid state.
TLDR
It is found that diverse molecular 3-D orientations were derived in their single crystals according to substituents on the molecules and that the emission properties in the solid state are dependent on their packing manners.
