title: Synthesis of 2-(polyfluoroaryl)benzofurans via a copper(I)-catalyzed reaction of 2-(2,2-dibromovinyl)phenol with polyfluoroarene.
abstract: A novel and efficient route for the synthesis of 2-(polyfluoroaryl)benzofurans via a copper(I)-catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-(2,2-dibromovinyl)phenol with polyfluoroarene is reported. The corresponding products are generated in good yields. During the reaction process, a copper-catalyzed intramolecular C-O bond formation and a C-H activation are involved.
