Synthesis of new aryl substituted furan-2(5H)-ones using the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction
A series of novel 5-arylidenefuran-2(5H)-ones and 5-arylidene-4-arylfuran- 2(5H)-ones were synthesized via the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of fimbrolide derivatives 5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one and 4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene) furan-2(5H)-one, respectivel
