Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) A wide variety of 3-iodobenzo[b]furans were readily prepared by iodocyclization of 2-alkynyl-1-(1-ethoxyethoxy)benzenes with the I(coll)2PF6-BF3-OEt2 combination. Aryl-, vinyiic-, and alkyl-substituted alkynes undergo iodocyclization in good to excellent yields. The mechanism of the reaction is also discussed.
