14. The reported higher reactivity of 3-substituted indole derivatives, when compared to 2-substituted ones as electron-poor dienophiles in normal electron demand [4π + 2π] cycloadditions led us to consider the 3-carbonylated benzofurans for this study.

38. Endo addition can be defined as "that particular spatial arrangement of reactants in which the more bulky side of the diene is under the more bulky side of the dienophile", meaning the benzofuran part in this case.

50. The nature of the TS was checked via harmonic frequency evaluations to show the presence of one and only one imaginary frequency. In addition, the TS structures were given small geometrical perturbations along the reaction coordinates and then further geometrical optimization was carried out to ensure they connect the reactant and product of interest.
