Transition metal‐catalyzed domino reactions have been used as powerful tools for the preparation of polysubstituted furans in a one‐pot manner. In this paper, an efficient synthetic method was developed for the construction of tri‐ or tetrasubstituted furans from electron‐deficient alkynes and 2‐yn‐1‐ols by a silver‐catalyzed domino reaction. It is especially noteworthy that a 2,3,5‐trisubstituted
A variety of sequential gold-catalyzedreactions of 1-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ol with 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds are directed towards different outcomes by a suitable choice of the catalytic system, feature of 1,3-dicarbonyl and reaction conditions.
An efficient FeCl3-catalyzed tandem propargylation-cycloisomerization reaction of propargylic alcohols or acetates with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, leading to the synthesis of substituted furans, has been developed.
