General description

3-Methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid is a benzofuran derivative. It undergoes palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with 4-iodoanisole and diphenyliodonium triflate under different reaction conditions to form the corresponding biaryl.

Application

3-Methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid may be used in the preparation of 3-methyl-N-phenylbenzofuran-2-carboxamide by reacting with aniline.

Novel benzofuran-2-carboxamide ligands, which are selective for sigma receptors, have been synthesized via a microwave-assisted Perkin rearrangement reaction and a modified Finkelstein halogen-exchange used to facilitate N-alkylation. The ligands synthesized are the 3-methyl-N-phenyl-N-(3-(piperidin-1-yl)propyl)benzofuran-2-carboxamides (KSCM-1, KSCM-5 and KSCM-11). The benzofuran-2-carboxamide structure
