Abstract
A new synthesis of the title compound based on the formation of the furan ring in the key step was elaborated. Methyl 2-methoxy[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzofuran-7-carboxylate (15) was prepared by this methodology as a new type of a core for liquid crystal synthesis.
Keywords: [1]Benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzofuran; Benzofurans; Benzothiophenes; Fused heterocycles; Heteropentalenes; Liquid crystals.
