Abstract

Of two conceivable mechanistic pathways in the conversion of 1,4-diaryloxy-2-butynes to benzofurobenzopyrans, one is eliminated and the other validated. Whereas 2-methyl-3-phenoxymethylbenzofuran is resistant to Claisen rearrangement, 4-phenoxymethyl-Δ3-chromene undergoes such a rearrangement with concomitant ring closure to the benzofurobenzopyran (VIII). The related system viz. 4-phenoxymethylcoumarin showed no propensity for similar rearrangement.
