A golden switch: Doubly stabilized sulfonium ylides can be coupled with alkynes in a gold‐catalyzed synthesis of heterocycles. This method hinges on a switch in the reactivity of the sulfur ylide resulting from the simple modification of the electron‐withdrawing moieties and leads to either furans or furanones bearing a quaternary center (see scheme).

A novel, facile, and efficient Lewis-acid-catalyzed [4 + 1] annulation protocol for the construction of functionalized polycyclic-fused furans is developed. This methodology is free of transition metals and ligands and provides a rapid synthetic route to divergently orientated polycyclic furans in good yields. In addition, this protocol can also be used to synthesize multisubstituted furans.
