A novel and efficient CuI-catalyzed synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans was developed via coupling cyclization of gem-difluoroalkenes with active methylene carbonyl compounds such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, acetoacetonitrile, and phenylsulfonylacetone with the assistance of a base. Commercial availability of substrates or reagents, good to high isolated yields, and excellent functional group
