Template:Chembox Footer/trackingTemplate:Short description

Benzofuran is the heterocyclic compound consisting of fused benzene and furan rings. This colourless liquid is a component of coal tar. Benzofuran is the structural nucleus (parent compound) of many related compounds with more complex structures. For example, psoralen is a benzofuran derivative that occurs in several plants.

There are benzofuran based herbicides: ethofumesate and benfuresate.[3] Several psychoactive drugs such as 5-MAPB and 6-APB are also derived from benzofuran.

Production

Benzofuran is extracted from coal tar. It is also obtained by dehydrogenation of 2-ethylphenol.[2]

Laboratory methods

Benzofurans can be prepared by various methods in the laboratory. Notable examples include:

Perkin rearrangement
Diels–Alder reaction yielding a substituted benzofuran
Benzofurans via Cycloisomerization
