Abstract
Benzofuran derivatives are the scaffold of many natural products, many of which are biologically active and/or found to have high potential as pharmacological agents. Therefore, benzofuran derivatives are expected to be invaluable moieties as far as biology and pharmacology are concerned. In this review, we try to highlight the recent advances in the synthetic approaches to a wide variety of its derivatives in particular those showing biological activity.

Advances on New Photochromic Compounds. Synthesis and Applications
Photochromic compounds are materials that can reversibly change color or optical properties when exposed to light, typically ultraviolet (UV) or visible light. This reversible color change is due to a molecular rearrangement or isomerization triggered by light absorption. Advances in this field are focused on synthesizing photochromic compounds with faster ...read more
Biorthogonal Chemistry: A translational Chemical Tool for In Vivo Applications
After the discovery in 1990, bioorthogonal chemistry encompassed a set of diverse, fast-paced selective chemical reactions, facilitating the study of biomolecules under physiological aura without intervening in the biochemical processes. Over the past two decades, significant progress has been witnessed in bioorthogonal reactions such as Staudinger ligation, metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, ...read more
