Benzofuran is the heterocyclic compound consisting of fused benzene and furan rings. This colourless liquid is a component of coal tar. Benzofuran is the structural nucleus (parent compound) of many related compounds with more complex structures. For example, psoralen is a benzofuran derivative that occurs in several plants.
Benzofuran is extracted from coal tar. It is also obtained by dehydrogenation of 2-ethyl phenol. [2]
Benzofurans can be prepared by various methods in the laboratory. Notable examples include:
