Abstract
Benzofuran and benzofuranone derivatives have been synthesized through exclusive 5-exo-dig intramolecular hydroarylation using the amide-directed, cost-effective, high-valent Cp*CoIII-catalytic system. Challenging one-pot, orthogonal C−H functionalizations using two different electrophiles are also reported to afford polysubstituted benzofurans. Several valuable functional group interconversions along with removal of the amide directing group provide a route to access several diversely functionalized benzofurans. The mechanistic study suggests a reversible cobaltation step is operative here. (Figure presented.).
