A pyridine-catalyzed ylide cyclization affording dihydrofurans and dihydropyrroles has been developed. In the presence of a catalytic amount of pyridine and Fe(Tcpp)Cl, α-ylidene-β-diketones and α,β-unsaturated imines react with diazoacetates providing dihydrofurans and dihydropyrroles respectively, in up to 96% yield with high diastereoselectivities.

A facile synthesis of tetrasubstitude 2,3-dihydrofurans has been conducted using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a soluble polymer support. The PEG-supported pyridinium ylides react with 3-arylidene-2,4-pentanedione in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) via conjugate addition to form PEG-supported dihydrofuran derivatives, being cleaved by 1% KCN/EtOH to afford trans-tetrasubstitude-2,3-dihydrofurans
