An efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted benzo[<i>b</i>]furans from commercially available 2-iodophenols, terminal acetylenes and aryl iodides has been developed utilizing Sonogashira reaction conditions. After an initial Sonogashira coupling of the 2-iodophenol with the terminal alkyne, cyclization involving the aryl iodide provides the 2,3-disubstituted benzo[<i>b</i>]furan in good to excellent yields. The use of microwave irradiation shortens the reaction times and m ...[more]
