Benzofuran is the heterocyclic compound consisting of fused benzene and furan rings. This colourless liquid is a component of coal tar. Benzofuran is the "parent" of many related compounds with more complex structures. For example, psoralen is a benzofuran derivative that occurs in several plants.
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:
- O-alkylation of salicylaldehyde with chloroacetic acid followed by dehydration of the resulting ether.[3]
- Diels–Alder reaction of nitro vinyl furans with various dienophiles:[7]
Related compounds

- Indole, an analog with a nitrogen instead of the oxygen atom.
- Benzothiophene, an analog with a sulfur instead of the oxygen atom.
- Isobenzofuran, the isomer with oxygen in the adjacent position.
- Aurone
- Thunberginol F
