Synthesis of 3‐Iodobenzofurans by Electrophilic Cyclization under Solventless Conditions in a Ball Mill

Authors:

Abstract
Under mechanochemical conditions, electrophilic cyclizations of 2‐alkynylanisoles provide 3‐iodobenzofurans in the absence of a solvent. Equimolar amounts of iodine are sufficient for achieving good yields. The eco‐friendly reaction conditions are mild, and various functional groups are tolerated.
