- Abstract
An unprecedented deconstructive reorganization strategy for the de novo synthesis of hydroxylated benzofurans from kojic acid‐ or maltol‐derived alkynes is reported. In this reaction, both the benzene and furan rings were simultaneously constructed, whereas the pyrone moiety of the kojic acid or maltol was deconstructed and then reorganized into the benzene ring as a six‐carbon component. Through this strategy, at least one free hydroxyl group was introduced into the benzene ring in a substitution‐pattern tunable fashion without protection–deprotection and redox adjustment. With this method, a large number of hydroxylated benzofuran derivatives with different substitution‐patterns have been prepared efficiently. This methodology has also been shown as the key step in a collective total synthesis of hydroxylated benzofuran‐containing natural products (11 examples).
