Abstract

A method has been developed for the synthesis of 3-acetonyl- and 3-phenacylben-zo[b]furans by cyclization of 1-arloxy-2,4-pentanediones and 1-phenyl-4-aryloxy-1,3-butanediones in polyphosphoric acid. Acylation of 3-acetonyl(phenyl-benzo-[b]furans with aliphatic acid anhydrides in the presence of perchloric acid gives the benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyrylium perchlorates. The recyclization of the pyrylium salts with ammonia, aqueous alkali, and morpholine has been examined.
