title: Palladium-catalyzed paraformaldehyde insertion: a three-component synthesis of benzofurans.
abstract: An efficient procedure for 2-aroylbenzofuran preparation from 2-bromophenols, phenacyl bromides and paraformaldehyde is described. The cheap and stable paraformaldehyde served as the carbon source via an in situ formylation reaction.
