multiple applications. These compounds occur in nature in a variety
of structural forms, which range from a simple molecule such
as 5-methoxybenzofuran to a highly complicated molecule like
morphine. These derivatives constitute highly valuable heterocyclic
motifs found in the structure of many natural [2,3] and
synthetic products [4–8]. Literature survey indicates that
compounds having benzofuran nucleus possess broad range of
biological activities. For example Griseofulvin is used as antifungal,
Amiodarone is used as antiarrhythmic, Benzbromarone is used as
