Regioselective reactions of 3-substituted 4,6-dimethoxybenzofurans with ind
olin-2-ones and triflic anhydride afforded 7- and/or 2-substituted indolo-b
enzofurans and the latter were cyclised to previously unknown benzofuran-fu
sed benzocarbazoles using palladium (Il) acetate in heated acetic acid. (C)
