A study was carried out on the domino transformations of tetrahydrobenzofuro[2,3-c]pyridines and tetrahydrobenzofuro[3,2-c]pyridines by the action of activated alkynes in methanol and acetonitrile. This reaction is a new method for the synthesis of spiro[benzofuropyridines] showing acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity.
