Treatment of 3-methoxy-3-buten-2-one with 1 equivalent of bromine results in a labile dibromo adduct. Strirring this compound and triethylamine in the presence of a diene like furan results in the stereoselective formation of a 4 + 3 cycloaddition product in good yield. Several examples of this reaction are reported as is the interesting chemistry associated with the 4 + 3 cycloadduct derived from furan.
