Abstract

Dibenzofurans are naturally occurring molecules that have received considerable attention for a variety of practical applications, such as in pharmaceuticals and electronic Materials. Herein, an efficient and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of dibenzofuran derivatives via intramolecular C-O bond formation, which involves the in situ production of a diazonium salt, is described. The transformation requires a diazotizing agent and is promoted by the use of an organic photosensitizer under visible-light irradiation.
