Abstract

A general preparation of new types of benzofurans, benzothiophenes and indoles is realized via chemoselective intramolecular Wittig reactions with the corresponding ester, thioester and amide functionalities using in situ formed phosphorus ylides as key intermediates. The reaction conditions are very mild, and numerous Michael acceptors and commercially available acid chlorides can be applied very efficiently in a one-step procedure.
