Furyl(aryl)alkanes and Their Derivatives. 19. Synthesis of Benzofuran Derivatives via 2-Hydroxyaryl-R-(5-methylfur-2-yl)methanes. Reaction of Furan Ring Opening - Benzofuran Ring Closure Type

2-Hydroxyaryl(5-methylfur-2-yl)alkanes synthesized by alkylation of 2-methylfuran with various 2-hydroxybenzylic alcohols, were rearranged into corresponding 3-R-benzo[b]furan derivatives by treatment with ethanolic HCl solution. These compounds can not be transformed into dibenzoxazulenium salts.
