o-Triisopropylsiloxyaryl ketones and aldehydes smoothly reacted with the lithium salt of trimethylsilyldiazomethane to give o-triisopropylsiloxyphenylacetylenes which were easily converted to benzofurans by treatment with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. 3-Benzofuranmethanols were also obtained when the reaction was conducted in the presence of carbonyl compounds.
