Abstract

A novel and safe approach was developed for the synthesis of bioactive 2-aroyl-3,5-diarylfurans in excellent yields by using a cyanide-impregnated anion-exchange resin as a versatile reagent. The possibility of reusing the polymer-supported reagent makes the process environmentally friendly and economically advantageous.
