title: A simple and efficient synthesis of 2,3-diarylnaphthofurans using sequential hydroarylation/Heck oxyarylation.
abstract: An efficient and simple strategy has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-diarylnaphthofurans using sequential hydroarylation of naphthols and alkynes in the presence of In(OTf)3 under microwave irradiation followed by one-pot Heck-oxyarylation of generated 1-substituted-α-hydroxy styrenes.
