Abstract
Acid-catalyzed recyclization of 4-acetoxy-9-furylnaphtho[2,3-b]furans efficiently produced naphtho[1,2-b:3,4-b’]difurans. On the other hand, 4-aminonaphtho[2,3-b]furans failed to undergo the analogous recyclization into benzo[g]furo[2,3-e]indoles. The difference in behavior of these two types of substrates was explained by employing density functional theory calculations.
