A novel ligand‐free palladium‐catalyzed C‐2 arylation of benzofurans has been developed using N′‐acyl arylhydrazines as the coupling partners and TEMPO as an oxidant. This protocol features a wide functional‐group tolerance and highly regioselective products with good to excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
