Significance

A covalent organic framework containing hexaazatriphenylene and phenazine units (Hex-Aza-COF) catalyzed the oxidative [3+2] cyclo­addition of phenols and styrenes in the presence of (NH4)2S2O8 under white LEDs irradiation to afford the corresponding 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans in up to 95% yield (eq. 1).

Comment

In the oxidative [3+2] cycloaddition of 4-methoxyphenol and trans-p-methoxypropenylbenzene, Hexa-Aza-COF was recovered by centrifugation and reused four times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. The authors have previously reported the preparation of Hex-Aza-COF and its application as an electrode (Adv. Energy Mater. 2020, 10, 2001673; ACS Energy Lett. 2020, 5, 2256).
