This review describes the progress of the last decade on the synthesis of substituted
benzofurans, which are useful scaffolds for the synthesis of numerous natural products and …

Indium (III) halides catalyze the hydroalkoxylation reaction of ortho-alkynylphenols to afford
benzo [b] furans in good yields. The reaction proceeds with 5-endo-dig regioselectivity with …

The one‐step synthesis of arylacetaldehydes by carbon–carbon bond formation between
formylmethyl and aryl groups has been realized by the reaction of vinylene carbonate with …

N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) compounds have attracted significant attention as ligands for
transition metal catalysis and organometallic complexes. Over the last two decades, among …

Oxygen and nitrogen heterocycle systems are found in a vast number of natural substrates
and biologically active molecules. In particular, phthalan, isochroman, and isoindoline …
