A novel class of five-six-six tricyclic 2(5H)-furanone heterocycles was synthesized from 3,4,5-trichloro-2(5H)-furanone and bifunctional o-nucleophiles in a single step. In addition, 2-(chloromethyl)quinoxaline was obtained through this method, and the distinctive formation mechanism of this compound is discussed.

Methods and materials for preparing 4-substituted-2-buten-4-olidos are disclosed. The methods include reacting a masked mucohalic acid with a primary or secondary amine or with an arylol in the presence of a base. Unlike existing processes, the disclosed methods do not require the use of palladium, which make them well suited for preparing intermediates in drug syntheses.
