2-Aryl/alkylbenzofurans, which constitute an important subclass of naturally occurring lignans and neolignans, have attracted extensive synthetic efforts due to their useful biological activities and significant pharmacological potential. Herein, we report a general and efficient approach to divergent 2-arylbenzofurans through a one-pot synthesis of versatile 2-bromobenzofurans as key intermediates. Using this approach, the first total synthesis of a series of trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted benzofurans bearing the hydroxyethyl unit, including the natural compounds isolated from Lavandula agustifolia (1-3) and their non-natural derivatives (4-8), was accomplished. We also report a modified synthesis of ailanthoidol, homoegonol, and egonol that enables the divergent synthesis of their derivatives for future exploration. Among these, the representative phenolic natural compound 2 and its derivatives 7 and 5 induced apoptotic cell death related poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage in MCF74, A549, PC3, HepG2, and Hep3B cancer cell lines. Additionally, the tumor suppressor protein p53 was also induced in p53 wild type cancer cells.
Rapid Access to Benzofuran-Based Natural Products through a Concise Synthetic Strategy

A concise strategy is described for the synthesis of ailanthoidol (1), egonol (2), homoegonol (3), demethoxyegonol (4), demethoxyhomoegonol (5), and stemofuran A (6). This approach involves a Pd-catalysed domino cyclization/coupling process using triarylbismuth reagents for the generation of the benzofuran core. Subsequent structural modifications then give the final targets. The high yielding synthesis of the recently isolated natural products egonol-9(Z)-12(Z)-linoleate (2a), 7-demethoxyegonol-9(Z)-12(Z)-linoleate (4a), and 7-demethoxy-egonol-9(Z)-oleate (4b) are also reported.

An expeditious and concise method has been described for the synthesis of ailanthoidol through convergent route starting from vanillin. The protocol involving intramolecular Wittig as a key reaction afforded ailanthoidol in overall high yield.
