Transition Metal-Catalyzed Benzofuran Synthesis

Transition Metal-Catalyzed Benzofuran Synthesis: Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycle Synthesis Series provides an overview of benzofuran, describing properties of these heterocycle compounds and the traditional synthetic procedures used for them. The book then explores catalyzed procedures for benzofuran synthesis in greater detail and depth than is currently available in published review articles. This volume is part of the short series authored by Xiao-Feng Wu that summarizes recent achievements on heterocycle synthesis with transition metals as catalysts, with each volume dedicated to one heterocycle compound. - Offers a brief, focused review of this active research in benzofuran synthesis via transition metal catalysis- Useful coverage of benzofuran properties and both intermolecular and intramolecular cyclization- Volume Four in Elsevier's short work series, Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycles Synthesis- Provides greater detail and depth than is currently available in published review articles
