Synthesis of polysubstituted furans from aryl gem-dibromoethenes

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] Synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans can be performed at 120°C in DMF using aryl gem-dibromoethenes and ethyl acetoacetate as the starting substrates under the assistance of Ag2CO3–Cs2/

Tuning radical reactivity using iodine in oxidative C(sp3)-H/C(sp)-H cross-coupling: An easy way toward the synthesis of furans and indolizines

Molecular iodine was found to be an effective redox catalyst for the oxidative cross-coupling of carbonyl compounds with terminal alkynes. In this work, we demonstrated that iodine could tune radical reactivity through reversible C-I bond formation for co

One-pot synthesis of furans using base- and acid-supported reagents Na 2CO3/Al2O3-PPA/SiO2'

A convenient method for the one-pot synthesis of furans from -keto esters and -halo ketones was developed using an acid- and base-supported reagent system Na2CO3/Al2O3-PPA/SiO2'. The condensation reaction of triketones, which are formed from the reaction of -keto esters with -halo ketones in the presence of Na2CO 3/Al2O3, was promoted by PPA/SiO2 to give the corresponding furans in good yields. This method is simple and easy to perform in comparison with stepwise processes, and the yields are good.
