General description

Dibenzofuran has been converted to a vacuum-sublimable, electron-transporting host material for blue-green electrophosphorescent molecule, iridium (III) bis(4,6-(di-fluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C2′)picolinate. Biodegradation of dibenzofuran (DF) and its structural analogs by a newly isolated Agrobacterium sp. PH-08 has been reported.

Dibenzofuran (DBF) is converted to a vacuum-sublimable, electron-transporting host material via 2,8-substitution with diphenylphosphine oxide moieties. Close pi-pi stacking and the inductive influence of P=O moieties impart favorable electron-transport properties without lowering the triplet energy. A maximum external quantum efficiency

An intramolecular, organocatalyzed Michael addition has been developed to obtain biologically important 2,3-disubstituted cis-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans. By using mandelic acid salts of primary aminocatalysts, derived from cinchona alkaloids, the intramolecular cyclization reaction has been developed to proceed in high yield, with moderate
