Sc. Ng et al., AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF 2-(P-HALOBENZYL)-3-ARYL-6-METHOXYBENZOFURANS AS SELECTIVE LIGANDS FOR THE ANTIESTROGEN-BINDING SITES, Synthetic communications, 23(13), 1993, pp. 1843-1853
A series of 2-(p-fluorobenzyl)-3-aryl-6-methoxybenzofurans has been pr
epared in good yields in a two-step sequence from the corresponding be
nzylidencoumaranones (aurones).
