Tandem Suzuki-Miyaura coupling/acid-catalyzed cyclization between vinyl ether boronates and vinyl halides: A concise approach to polysubstituted furans
Polysubstituted 2-(ω-hydroxyalkyl)furans were prepared by tandem Suzuki-Miyaura coupling/acid-catalyzed cyclization starting from appropriately substituted 3-haloallylic alcohols and dihydrofuran-, dihydropyran- or glycal-derived pinacol boronates.
