34. -. Although a methyl or phenyl group could not replace the trifluoromethyl group of 1b, substitution of the trifluoromethyl group with a heptadecafluorooctyl group successfully led to the formation of 2-methylthio-3-heptadecafluorooctylbenzo[ b ]furan (5a′) in 85% yield.
35. The methylthio group of 1b would be important to precisely control the reactivity of the cationic intermediate 7. Replacing the methylthio group of 1b with a phenyl or methoxyphenyl group, which can stabilize cationic intermediates, failed to afford the corresponding 2-arylbenzofurans.
36. The structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis as well as NMR spectroscopy.
