Routes were investigated for the synthesis of cicerfuran, a hydroxylated benzofuran from wild chickpea implicated in resistance to Fusarium wilt, and some of its analogues. A novel method is described for the synthesis of oxygenated benzofurans by epoxidation and cyclisation of 20-hydroxystilbenes. The stilbene intermediates required could be synthesised by palladium-catalysed coupling of styrenes with mono-oxygenated aryl halides but not with di-oxygenated aryl halides. Stilbenes corresponding to the latter were synthesised by Wittig reactions
