Abstract

A highly efficient synthesis of a wide range of 2,5-disubstituted furans from enyne acetates is described. The reactions are conducted by using Lewis acid and palladium catalyst and provide symmetrical and unsymmetrical products in good to excellent yields, with broad substrate scope, including a variety of aromatic and aliphatic substituents in the 2- and 5-position of the furan ring.
