Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted 2-aminofuran-3-carbonitriles via a cascade Stetter-γ-ketonitrile cyclization reaction of aromatic aldehydes with acylidenemalononitriles, catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes, has been developed. This procedure provides the corresponding products in moderate to high yields under mild conditions.

References and Notes
General procedure for the synthesis
of 4,5-disubstituted 2-aminofuran-3-carbonitriles 3:
A flame-dried, round-bottom flask was charged with thiazolium salt 4c (0.5 mmol), aromatic aldehyde 1 (1.0 mmol), acylidenemalononitrile 2 (1.0 mmol), and EtOH (5 mL) under a
positive pressure of nitrogen, followed by addition of t-BuOK (1.0 mmol).
The resulting
solution was stirred for 0.5-2 h at r.t. After completion
of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was concentrated
under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography
on silica gel (petroleum ether-EtOAc, 6:1) to afford the
product 3.
