A1 Estévez Cabanas, Ramón José K1 Fused-ring systems K1 Heck reaction K1 Quinones K1 Palladium K1 Heterocycles K1 Halides K1 Furans AB Here we describe modified syntheses of o-acetylbenzoicacids and o-acetylphenylacetic acids by Heck palladium-catalysed arylation of n-butyl vinyl ether with o-iodobenzoic acids or with o-iodophenylacetic acids, respectively. General syntheses of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-b]furan-6,11-diones from o-acetylbenzoic acids and 2-benzyl3-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-diones from o-acetylphenylacetic acids arealso reported.
